Well, the reason I'm thinking resource limit is that this only occurs when busy, and then a couple of seconds later it works fine again.
The docs for select indicate that this is the select(2) system call, but the docs for that say the following:
...On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately;...
and lists the following errors:
- EBADF
An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the sets. (Perhaps a file descriptor that was already closed, or one on which an error has occurred.)
- EINTR
A signal was caught; see signal(7).
- EINVAL
nfds is negative or the value contained within timeout is invalid.
- ENOMEM
unable to allocate memory for internal tables.
... none of which correspond to the no child processes, and leaving me at a bit of a loss

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
