Re: [Nmh-workers] Why Attempt fork(2) up to Five Times?

Hi kre,

Resources were in limited supply back then, and simply retrying (often
after a short sleep, though not always required) would often end up
succeeding

Yes, this was sleep(5) after each failure.
Thanks, they're now all a simple single call to fork().
