I've found problems with executing this script:

<? 
exec("pkzip vv.zip aaa.dbf"); 
?>

(pkzip - dos zip version)

In Netscape 4.7. after first execute of it I get information:

Unable fork [pkzip vv.zip aaa.dbf]

All next executes probably cause suspending Apache. 
In PHP3 there was no  such problems.
