Been getting quite a few build failures lately with messages like this:

I'm not particularly worried about it as it seems to be transitory. A reboot will most likely cure it. The "kern.maxprocperuid" sysctl setting of 100 seems to be the most likely culprit. Does that seem fairly low to anyone else?

I've seen this a couple of times, with the same kinds of symptoms...it is worth filing a bug report, I think.


AFAICT it has nothing to do with Xcode; I have seen it when Xcode has not been run since reboot, for example.

I am also running 10.4, and this behavior is new since updating.

Justin
