Hi guys, 

in last days i'm severely bugged by some resource limits on my machine..my 
applications fail to run 
etc. 

I'm running on a netbook that is slow by default, but i've been on it for a few 
years and it was ok. 
I'm running normal KDE, IM client, kmail, firefox (with a lot, cca 30) tabs 
open, a konsole and 
netbeans ide. 

The thing is I remember I once played with some limits to avoid forkbombs 
etc..so my question is if 
you could point me to some files to check for configs? 

This is my top output:

and I use pm-utils, should that matter? 

I used to run the system under similar load and it was ok, now eg. my compiles 
in netbeans fail, 
says OutOfMemoryException or sometimes cannot create a new native thread. 
(openjdk), also 
command line tools fail with things like
$ man scdaemon
man: fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
I wonder is it the memory consumed by netbeans or some number of process/open 
files limit or 
something? 

I'm glad for any suggestions, as now if i want to develop in java, i have to 
shut down browser, chat 
and even though...

Thank you, Mark

PS: i know..but now i'd not like to hear suggestions like using a lighter DE or 
buying better hw ;)
