Please try not to top-post.

Both of those error messages are not form PostgreSQL, so they don't help
much.
You might get more in the database log if you set
log_connections = on
in postgresql.conf and reload (make sure that log_min_messages is
"fatal" or lower).

It also wouldn't hurt to try and count the actual connections when you
hit the
problem (SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity) and check if that's
close to
max_connections.

Have you considered the possibility that the limit and the error do not
originate in that database, but in the application server?

It is almost unlimited on any hardware. That does not mean that things
will
perform well beyond a certain limit. The limiting factor I mentioned is
the
operating system, and these limits can usually be adjusted.
