+I've been trying to dig around the trace and code, and used google to see if the forkProcess issue was a haskell thing or an OSX thing. It seems that <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4493> someone may have ran into a similar issue, though I am not sure if its related.

+It may be possible that OSX has some low resource limits, for user processes (266 per user I think) doing a 
+
+    sudo sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2048
+    sudo sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=1024
+    sudo echo \"limit maxfiles 1024 unlimited\" >> /etc/launchd.conf
+    sudo echo \"limit maxproc 1024 2048\" >> /etc/launchd.conf

+
+
+the number of failures vary as I change the values of the maxprocs, I think I  have narrowed it down to OSX just being stupid with limits thus causing the tests to fail.

+I've fixed the test suite to not accumulate all those zombie processes. Now only 2 or 3 processes should run max. Am curious to see if that clears up all the problems.
