It kinda looks now like the modules that display lists are the most 
likely to cause this error. I have seen this behavior before, but I 
guess I didn't make the connection until now.

Maybe it is not miniserv itself as much as teh perl programs? Virtual 
min is one, I have seen it when listing aliases and especially when 
listing email for a user account, or the results of a query on email. I 
also saw it just now when trying to compose an email by a brand new 
user. Maybe there is some peak usage there?

Also I wonder if the new frames them causes extra hits on the server, 
causing it to spawn new children more often then it would have before? 
Is there some configuration I can do in that area, like I can with apache>

As for the discrepancy between the system info display in webmin and top 
and free, the latter two seem to be in close alignment, a lot closer the 
webmin display is to either.

BTW, I just noticed I had pop/pop3s and smtp active in zinetd, and I 
also had sendmail and dovecot running as services. I just turned off the 
xinetd ones, will see if that helps any.

Best,
