This table is a finite resource and thus can be filled up, so that no new process could be created. I guess that in order to see what was the cuase of your problem, you can 1) Take a look at the log files to see what processes were running 2) Take a look at the cron entries. 3) Maybee there is a bug in the watchdog software ?
