Dear support,
I just hit on a problem. I have an EMBOSS List File with more than 1000 entries
that I try to give as input to an EMBOSS program. The program crashes with error
message :
task_create() failed for pid 1307576: max_proc_per_user (=256) exceeded for uid
430.
EMBOSS An error in ajfile.c at line 125:
fork create failed
While the program is running, the command "ps x" gives :
...
1307703 pts/2 <+ 0:00.00 <defunct>
1307706 pts/2 <+ 0:00.00 <defunct>
1307713 pts/2 <+ 0:00.00 <defunct>
1307714 pts/2 R + 0:00.29 getz -e [EMBL-id:AF017184]|[EMBL-acc:AF017184]
1307720 pts/2 <+ 0:00.00 <defunct>
1307722 pts/2 <+ 0:00.00 <defunct>
1307729 pts/2 <+ 0:00.00 <defunct>
...
Note that the EMBL databank is accessed by the "srs" method. For databanks
acessed by the "emblcd" method there is no problem. Looks like a bug in the
interface between EMBOSS and "getz", doesn'it ? (I am using EMBOSS 2.6.0 under
CompaqTru64 5.1A).
Sincerely,
Guy Bottu
