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"
It seems I have no problem opening up processes, as long as they are not Firefox. ulimit -n 1024 You are right, I increased the value to 2048 and opened a fourth instance with no problem. Hum! I have forgotten that. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
