Err, I assume this is the resource limit imposed on the process, not the
global process limit?  You can increase the number of possible processes
a couple of ways:

	- bump "maxusers" in your kernel config file

	- use sysctl(8) to increase kern.maxproc

For the per-process resource limit, use the getrlimit() and setrlimit()
library functions to alter the limits.  You can also change the limit
in the shell before the http server is exec'd.
