Doing vfork: resource temporarily unavailable


Hello,

When launching Cygwin Emacs 24.5 [1] with my standard `.emacs' file
(which I successfully use with Windows Emacs 24.5 and 25.0), I have
"Doing vfork: resource temporarily unavailable" errors.

I had to disable the following block of code to allow Cygwin Emacs to go
to the end of its startup:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (require 'server)
  (with-eval-after-load "server"

    ;; Test whether Emacs server is running.  If not, start it.
    (or (equal (server-running-p) t)
        (server-start))

    ;; Save file without confirmation before returning to the client.
    (defadvice server-edit (before save-buffer-if-needed activate)
      "Save current buffer before marking it as done."
      (when server-buffer-clients (save-buffer))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Still, I do have errors popping up when further using Cygwin Emacs, such
as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
dired-insert-directory: Doing vfork: resource temporarily unavailable
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any idea what's causing this?

Note that I see as well messages in the terminal:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
