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?

This is indeed the culprit. Well, that or possibly kern.maxproc (which defaults to 2048, on my system - 10.4.4 Server - anyway). Unfortunately you can only up that to 2068, and kern.maxprocperuid cannot be greater than kern.maxproc.

There may be something else going on; I wouldn't expect to see a lot of processes being forked on my system, and the times I've seen this problem (totally independent of Xcode), the system has been more or less idle.


It seems to happen when I don't have the time (or patience) to see what's going on behind the scenes, but I will guess that we're seeing a symptom, and root cause is something different.

By all means, file a bug.

Regards,

Justin
