Having a strange issue where process creation seems to
fail for no good reason. I think I've hit a process
creation limit.

Googling around I found:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1998-01/msg00249.html

Is it still the case that cygwin is limited to a max
number of processes and is this on a user by user
basis as starting the same thing under a different
user seems to work.

    Regards
    Steve
