> In any case, it's pretty weird that bash randomly fails to spawn child
processes!  It wreaks havoc on a number of my scripts.

Thought: Silent failure to spawn used to happen on some UNIX boxen when
the process table was full (or one slot remained and user != root).
Might something like this be causing your problem?

(I'm not going to stress my work Windows box this way to attempt to
reproduce, it's too unstable already.)
