[ic] Install - Orders/Administration Not Functional

Hi, thanks,

Yes I saw that, we had to deal with that for Minivend 3.x on FreeBSD 2.x.
But... CHILD_MAX went away as a kernel option along about FreeBSD
3.something.  This is 4.x.  In any event 'sysctl kern.maxprocperuid' returns
1043 max processes per user, and this particular machine ran a hugely active
Minivend 3 store earlier this year without indident.

Now, /var/log/messages does show Perl exiting with a dump and signal 11 when
the problem occurs, maybe IC doesn't like 5.6.0?

Still looking, and thanks!
Glenn.
