Hmm. You mean the other way round, I assume, because ENOENT surely
makes no sense for fork().

System resource exhaustion problems, maybe? EAGAIN for fork() strongly
suggests that. Perhaps you are running into a ulimit-like limit, such
as max processes per user? Not sure about ENOENT --- are you giving an
absolute path to locate the program to execute?
