my refurb i5 iMac froze on me for the first time...what's strange is that it wouldn't recognize my password to unlock the screen. I selected 'Restart' from the system menu, but it then just hung. I was forced to press and hold the power button. afterwards, everything seems ok. the system console shows the following error messages, repeating over and over:

10/15/10 8:22:49 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[104] (com.apple.ServerScanner) fork() failed, will try again in one second: Resource temporarily unavailable
10/15/10 8:22:49 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[104] (com.apple.PreferenceSyncAgent) fork() failed, will try again in one second: Resource temporarily unavailable
10/15/10 8:22:49 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[104] (com.apple.FontWorker) fork() failed, will try again in one second: Resource temporarily unavailable​

any idea what was wrong?
