Dear cygwin folks It seems like there's a limit of the number of possible child processes defined to 256 with 'NPROCS' in //winsup/cygwin/child_info.h used in 'cprocs' in //winsup/cygwin/sigproc.cc
256 is quite few possible children in an enterprise environment and perhaps the limit should be limited by the physical resources or possibly Windows ? As of now, posix_spawnp sometimes fail with EAGAIN (maybe it should be ENOMEM ?) if this limit is reached Would it be possible to somehow make this dynamic and let the operating system set the limits ?
