Comment (by bmilde at osev.de):

 Same problem here on 2.6 atheros. Revision is 10544 and I added also my
 own repository. fork() fails in ipgk no matter how much RAM I free
 (deleting files in tmp or shutting down services etc.)

 After deleting /usr/lib/ipkg/status everything works. Only drawback is
 that the System then doesn't know which packages had been installed.
