The message will now read
"prepare_preload warning: Too many forks, PIDs got reused, we're confused at
.."
When the message occurs this means that during the normal bootup process
so many processes got started that some PIDs were reused which confuses
prepare_preload that needs to relyably relate PIDs with commands and a process
tree. It will simply stop at that point and not preload anything further.
This usually means that one of the started processes is written in a stupid way
and forks like there's no tomorrow. You can see which one it is by
looking at /var/cache/preload/trace.gz, probably near the end. One of the
processes there will fork like mad.
