I can't see anything just by using your precmd and preexec and repeatedly executing commands, but maybe there is some kind of race. If you want to debug it, you could run gdb on zsh and set a break point inside the function zfork() in exec.c where it it outputs the error message you're seeing. Then look at the variables maxjob, jobtabsize, and if maxjob is large, the values of some entries of the table e.g. jobtab[maxjob-1], jobtab[maxjob-2], ... If you can get any more info, thanks. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
