Fixed In Version: systemd-219-42.el7_4.9 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
If the call of the fork() function failed during the startup of a service, systemd terminated unexpectedly. Consequently, users had to reboot the machine. With this update, systemd has been fixed to print an error message instead of terminating and stopping handling the requests. As a result, systemd keeps working in the described situation.
