Let me see, here.
1) You provide no code.
2) You provide no information as to what the child processes are doing.
3) You provide no OS information (not that it's really necessary, but it could help).
Sorry, dude. Like most all the other monks here, I never quite gained the ability to help others with "guess what my code looks like and guess what my child processes are doing" fork() problems.

Sorry for a month+ delay and for no code delivered.
My code is a GUI for setting some parameters and
eventually launching a PERL script Xtimes
with some arguments.
the code body is:
TK code
.... external loop:
while (!defined($pid = fork()))
{ print "NO PIDS..\n"; sleep 1 }
if (!$pid) { system "..." ; CORE::Exit(); } ## NO "&" !
else { $$TasksHash_{$pid}=$ShownButtons{$key}};
.... end of external loop.
INT code:
sub CHILED
{
my $stiff;
while (($stiff = waitpid(-1, &WNOHANG)) > 0)
{ $$TasksHash_{$stiff}->destroy if $$TasksHash_{$stiff}}
$SIG{CHLD} = \&CHILED ;
}
The "system" call dies when "out of memory",
why this happens?,br>
Thanks, Daniel.
