run a ps -auwx and see what's chewing them all up? When you are out of

unfortunatelly when I get the "table is full" error is too late and
the machine is hang :-(
If you have a logged-in shell you can do "exec ps -auwx" which won't
require a new process table slot. It replaces the shell so you'll be
effectively logged out after the ps completes, but hopefully with better
information :-)
Alternatively you could put the ps into a cron job and log to a file
every minute or so and do post-mortem analysis.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
