Subject: [9fans] protection against resource exhaustion

Hello 9fans

my mac has a protection below:
-bash$ cat foo
#!/bin/sh
./foo
-bash$ ./foo
./foo: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash$

on the other hand, Plan 9 does not.
kernel is protected against such programs, however they are not killed.
therefore no new process can be created.

does anyone have idea to fix the problem?
