I've been having an issue (see below) with running any command from textmate: whenever I try, textmate seizes up and starts spawning unsuccessful processes.
Earlier Allen said it might be a disk format error, and indeed, my disk was past the point of being repairable by Disk Utility. I wiped and reformatted - only to still have the same error, but neither disk utility nor fsck finds anything wrong with the disk.
While TM is spinning its gears (and spawning numerous bash processes), anything I try to do in terminal gives me "-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable". Force TM to Quit and I get fork back, so I can kill the bash processes and bring my CPU load back down from 100%. I haven't seen anything show up in the console.
I keep up with the most current builds, am running on 10.4.3 (but the problem occurred earlier with 10.4.2) on a 1.5ghz powerbook with 768MB RAM.
Any ideas?

A few days ago the create new file button in the drawer stopped working. Whenever I tried to create a new file, TM crashed. Then whenever I'd go into a terminal to fiddle, I'd get some error (sorry to so vague) about resource fork not being available.
I would force crash textmate, and killall bash, and all would work again - but each time I tried to create a file (I sure hope it works this time...), I had to do it all over again.
Last night I made the same error, textmate crashed, but I never got to killing the runaway bash process. I woke up and my computer fan was just screaming, a quick top showed a runaway bash process going at 75% cpu and fifty others! Here's a snip:

What could be going wrong? I'd love to have it fixed, if possible. The problem has reared it's ugly head with both beta1.17 and r421, and is getting to be a real pain. Anyone have an idea what's wrong?
