No more processes

Hello,

We often get the following message on a DEC 3000/300X :
        No more processes.
and no command can be run during several minutes.
There are on the average 250 running processes. The memory size is 64Mb,
with 600Mb swap space (40% free).
We upgraded from OSF 3.0 to 3.2 with no change.
A sysconfig with max-proc-per-user = 256 did not change anything either.
Note that there are also a lot (20) of <defunct> processes.

Any clue ?
Many thanks in advance.
Frederic
