I'm currently running Squeak 2.4b of April 23, 1999, Last update: 1209 on Windows NT.
The application uses a forked process which sits inside a loop waiting for a termination condition to exit. The program is processing a number of HTML based lists and creating a new dynamic output HTML document as a report. It's been very handy and was simple to write.
The peculiar thing is it fails whenever I'm not at my desk. I suspect it's related to something NT is doing while running the screen saver. I get the following message repeating in my console: CreateThread() failed (8) -- Not enough storage is available to process this command. SetThreadPriority() failed (6) -- The handle is invalid.
So what's the deal here? I'm pretty careful about forked processes and do not have any awareness of repeated forks in my code. The only thing is the HTTP stuff in the base image is probably doing some forked stuff. I wonder if there's a resource exhaustion thingy I need to watch for?
Steve,
A search of the list turned up this:

This is a weird NT thing - for some reason NT does not want to create a thread for the socket. How long have you been running PWS without restart or reboot of the machine?! I would guess that restarting Squeak should solve this issue (if not, then a reboot of the machine might help ;-) In any case, getting the latest SPs is probably a good idea.

Anyone, does this ring a bell ?
" CreateThread() failed(8) - Not enough storage is available to process this command

"
I got these lines in an erorbox, on the bottom of my Squeak window. I run Squeak on a Dell PC, x86 Family 6 Model 5 Stepping 2, 130,480 KB Ram Microzoft Windows NT 4.00.1381. IE 5 5.00.0910.1309.
I use the PWS for 4 months now, and like it verry much. This is the first sight of this error, an error that occurred 'for no reason'. I mean, I was not doing anything special; just saving a page (max 300 chars)....
Does anyone know an answer, or a place where I can find it ? Thanks.
