title: fork() failing with Out of memory error
body: <p>The parent process fails with errno=12(Out of memory) when it tries to fork a child. The parent process runs on Linux 3.0 kernel - SLES 11. At the point of forking the child, the parent process has already used up around 70% of the RAM(180GB/256GB). Is there any workaround for this problem?</p>
  
  <p>The application is written in C++, compiled with g++ 4.6.3.</p>
