R help - Dec 2012 - Multicore/Parallel

I am using the package Multicore/Parallel to do importance sampling. I have
5 cores on my computer. And I have
let's say 10 000 particles to generate. What I did was to send 5 particles
in each time, calling the package parallel. Which means in all I am calling
the parallel command 2000 times.
What happens is in the end somewhere along the way I end up with the error
message error in fork unable to create a pipe. Would it be better for me to
call the parallel once only but each time send in 2000 particles in each
parallel process.

where is your sample code asked for in the Posting Guide?
