I do. But only for "private playground" ;)

I did the test with siege, which is very good for load testing. So, any idea on 
why we get fork() resource problems?

yep, that's the same I was observing. Unfortunatly I can "confirm"... via the 
work on the Kannel gateway, that cygwin's pthread lib is broken... unfortunatly 
no chance to give this a forensic analysis.

Are you going to go on with checking on the fork() problem Max? or intending to
