Re: filters now run by fork/exec

Bill,

Darn. All is not well.  All my indexes fail after a
while.....here is the only line I get:

  43363X.PDFerr: failed to fork for running
[/usr/bin/pdftotext]: Resource temporarily unavailable

What ? Any clues what this mean. I can run under gdb
but I suspect there is no crash as such.
