[edit] Origin

The fork bomb was created when somebody realised that the more process the computer had, (being windows) the more likely the computer would stop responding. This lead to the creation in which a fork bomb uses the systems multitasking to create millions of CPU memory eating tasks, which freezes the operating system causing you to boot the computer till it is the size of a dell.

[edit] Apache

Apache is the most notorious daemon for fork bombing, a few hundred connections from one computer can cause apache to fork bomb if not configured correctly and extra software in place to prevent it. Despite apache still being vulnerable to simple dos and forkbomb the apache dev team does not see it as an issue. Lighttpd has developed a daemn which is dos and fork bomb resistant, such sites as youtube use lighttpd but it is not compatible with popular control panels yet so it still remains a small percentage of server usage while Apache dominates the net.
