Please try rebooting the computer and after rebooting let me know if the problem persists. There is a ridiculously small limit on the number of processes that OS X allows a given user to start, and maybe Armand started too many (which may or may not be Sage related). If rebooting seems to fix the problem, let me know, since it is also easy to greatly increase this process limit.
