What does `sysctl -a | grep maxproc' show? You *might* be able to
increase the values on the fly using sysctl -w kern.maxproc=n and sysctl
-w kern.maxprocperuid=n for some value of n, but I never remember if
those sysctls are changable. If not, you can increase the maxusers
option in your kernel configuration which will increase maxproc and a
few other things.
