Running out of process IDs



I seem to run out of processes frequently, and don't know what's causing it. The only thing I've found that fixes it is a reboot. I don't understand processes well enough to know what the problem is (windows or cygwin).

I see this problem happen only when the process IDs are around 64-65k, so I'm guessing that it's running out of processes. Process numbers seem to increase for me when I run a lot of scripts (I have some web traversal scripts in perl that call wget and other commands a lot).

I'm on XP Home with the latest cygwin. The cygcheck output is attached.

Thanks,
Nils.
