Cannot fork: too many processes

We have a problem with our DU 3.2D-2 system. We have set up a GUEST user
with no password and this account is used throughout the plant to run our
attendance monitoring system (AMS). Since the AMS has its own login
validation, a common guest account was enough. Our licence is for 64
users.
  When the no. of GUEST logins reaches around 17, this message comes up
after logging in:
        cannot fork: too many processes

  The $ prompt comes up sometimes after this error, but all I can do is
EXIT.

  Where do I start looking to solve this problem?
