Killing children

[Laura Conrad]

Further adventures in infanticide.  I've been spawning and killing
programs all day, in the course of testing and fixing other aspects of
the program.  

All of a sudden, although I haven't changed the spawn line at all,
only things farther along in the program, I get:

C:\cygwin\bin\python2.3.exe (5684): *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll to same address as parent(0x6B0000) != 0x6C0000
      4 [main] python 5468 sync_with_child: child 5684(0x710) died before initialization with status code 0x1
    681 [main] python 5468 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testspawn.py", line 8, in ?
    p = os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT, "/usr/bin/python", "python", 'run_rad7.py', "/dev/ttyS8", "120", "0", "00560")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 566, in spawnl
    return spawnv(mode, file, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 521, in spawnv
    return _spawnvef(mode, file, args, None, execv)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 489, in _spawnvef
    pid = fork()
OSError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

This is the same kind of error that caused me to stop using
pexpect.spawn.  Does anyone know what's happening?  rebooting does not
cause it to go away.  The program I attempting to spawn from my python
program runs fine from the command line.
