Jenkins 1.541 Linux Debian x64
Phing v2.71
When calling phing long running targets jenkins spawns many processes of phing concurently, it's like a fork bomb. My server has about 52-81 processes usually, after executing phing task that copies DB from one server to another (it takes about 20minutes) i see about 1000-5000 processes executed by jenkins all calling phing and system just runs out of memory.
I'm facing the very same issue on a freshly installed Jenkins on Ubuntu 12.04.
Running Phing trough Jenkins results in a massive list of processes, a high load and unresponsive server.
Running the exact same command manually on the commandline works just fine and only launches one process.
This is quite a serious issue, I can't believe there hasn't been any response whatsoever in the past ~2 months since this issue has been reported!
