ipcCreat: fork: (12) Not enough space (not faq8.8)

hello squid-users

i'm running squid-2.2STABLE5 on HP-UX 10.20 compiled with gcc-2.8.1. it's
running well.

but now there is only one dnsserver-process running, although i configured
five.

if i reconfigure squid with squid -k reconfigure in the cache.log file i get
the following error:

2000/04/14 11:33:09| Restarting Squid Cache (version 2.2.STABLE5)...

i have 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of swap

top gives something like this:

Memory: 167872K (152820K) real, 197132K (165820K) virtual, 5836K free

swapinfo -tam is

nothing else is running on this machine, only squid.

i read the faq, but faq 8.8 didn't solve the problem.
i don't think i have to less memory, what is the problem here????
please help!

thanks
martin
