But if this is an old machine, suddenly saying the process table is  
full, and nothing has been changed on it, it would suggest something  
else is wrong, rather than just not having the sysctl value tuned high  
enough..

What processes are running? What does this box do?

It seems very unlikely to me that there is a legitimate reason for it  
to suddenly do this.. But need to know more about what it's supposed  
to do..

Cheers,
