Hi,

• VS Code 1.51.0
• openSUSE Tumbleweed Kernel 5.9
• Remote machine: Debian Linux 4.9.0-11-amd64
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH

I can confirm, it's still an issue:

Linux 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u1 (2019-09-20) x86_64
Last login: Sun Nov 8 15:50:04 2020 from 2a02:560:4a7c:ea00:2472:3199:806a:706e
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash-4.4$

The OS has limited my ability to "fork" and stops me creating new threads or processes on the remote machine. I am not and cannot become root on this server.

With VS Code:

Sorry I'm not sure what we can do about this, it sounds like an issue.
