Is this known? Intentional or bug?
It sounds like you're having too many processes, although the default max per user is 32000 (or thereabouts). It might also be the number open file descriptors, judging by the mention of 'file' above. Not sure how to interpret that. You could try upping the max number of open file descriptors, with "ulimit -n" -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.0°C)
