HI Chris,

I had the same problem here.

To solve this, you will need to recompile your Kernel.

Increase the maxusers options to 32. I think this option in your kernel 
is setted to 10 ( default value ).

Also add this two lines :

options 	"CHILD_MAX=128"
options		"OPEN_MAX=128"

This will solve your problem.

Alexsandro
