Sounds like you have reached the maximum number of processes for your system.
Look in /etc/master.  There are several stanzas of interest:
  procs     <-- I think this is max # of procs on system.
  maxprocs  <-- I think this is max # of procs per login.
  callouts  <-- Might need adjusting on busy systems.
  filetab   <-- Max # of open files on system
  inodetab  <-- ditto, should be same value.

Change the values as desired.
Rebuild the kernel.
Reboot

You may want to look these up in your system management book.
