Well, the question is if it's locking up because the process table is
full or for some other reason.  Some of those PDFs took a lot of cpu
to run through pdftotext.

I suspect my version of Windows 98 isn't very helpful for debugging
this -- I tried running a program that was suppose to fill up the
process table, but couldn't figure out how to show all the processes.

That might be a better program for you to test with (since spidering
takes a bit of time).  That way we can isolate the waitpid problem vs
something else.
