Hi, I use mc frequently ( also to edit textfiles, I'm not a vi guy ), but recently it stopped working. when I try to start it, the machine hangs for a few seconds, there is a lot of harddisk activity, then it exits with; /usr/bin/mc: fork: resource temporarily not available. I found out that the harddisk activity was due to a lot of files being created in /tmp, 50-100 or so. They all looked like this; mcXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYY with the X's being numbers starting at 20443, looking very much like a PID, and the Y's just looking like random numbers. I also noticed a process called queued running, which I do not think I have seen running before.
I suspect this having to do with the fact that I'm running potato, and therefore having mc in version 4.5.38-1 Can anyone tell me what the problem could be ?
