There is a redundancy in the fork(2) man page:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERRORS
Fork will fail and no child process will be created if one
or more of the following are true:
[EAGAIN] The system-imposed limit on the total number
of processes under execution would be
exceeded. This limit is configuration-
dependent.
[EAGAIN] The system-imposed limit MAXUPRC
(<sys/param.h>) on the total number of
processes under execution by a single user
would be exceeded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These two paragraphs should be combined into one. They are the same
error values...
