lynx-dev lynx: generates too many processes?

[David Combs]

Here is the Lynx I am using:

                                                                                
             Information about the current document

                         Lynx 2.8.1pre.5 (30 Sep 1998) ([1]development version) 
- [2]compile time settings
   
Fi



It got so I couldn't send mail, run man, or
anything -- except ps (and logout!).

Here is a ps:

The ONLY program I had yet run is (a) lynx and 
also vi and fmt and mail.  THAT'S IT!

Other problems, similar, recently:
 
  "Can't fork, blah blah..."

(sunos)

I learned quickly to quickly run trn, lynx,
etc, and put them in background, because
"fg" DID work ok.  Never knew whether it
was new version of trn or lynx -- well, today
I hadn't yet run trn.  Must be lynx.

Any comments, ideas, whatever?
