I have the same problems with multiple apps - Exim and UW-ipop.  They 
both fail with the same faults: 

  fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

The Exim will send a few mails, but will fail after a few minutes use.  
UW-ipop fails the first time its called into use.  Both are loaded as 
services into an x64 2008 R2 server.

I notice the mail list has other "x64 fork" problem reports.  My 
suspicion is the fault is in the core cygwin dll.   Any thoughts please?
