> What were you trying to do when you got these messages? This happens when I have a bunch of X apps (with windows) open and I try open another xterm. It appears that there is some limit to the number of X windows that can be opened. When I try to open another one after that limit, I get these messages. I checked 'man login.conf' but nothing seemed relevant. I am not sure if any sysctl values might be responsible for this behaviour though.
Thanks
