The solution is to increase the value of maxusers in /sys/conf/HOSTNAME
or to increase the values of max-proc-per-user and max-threads-per-user.

Christophe,
You should increase the max-proc-per-user and max-threads-per-user
parameters of the proc subsystem. Add the following to /etc/sysconfigtab:
proc:
max-proc-per-user = xxx
max-threads-per-user = nnn
Where xxx and nnn are larger than 64 and 256, default values.
Then reboot, and verify with sysconfig -q proc.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Benoit Maillard

Hi
Yes, i think that you may solve this problem by modifying maxusers on
/sys/conf/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME.
As i know there is no equivalent parameter in /etc/sysconfigtab for
maxusers. If you have some other valid answer, please let me know. Good
luck
Regards

Change maxusers. This changes the total processes in the system
