How many processes were running at the time?
	You can probably avoid this by changing the values of MAXUSERS in
	your kernel config, or running:

		sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2048

	Alternatively to double what you already have:

sh -c 'echo kern.maxproc=$((`sysctl -n kern.maxproc` * 2))| xargs sysctl -w'
