Why don't you increase MAXUSERS in your kernel config and rebuild a new
kernel. Use something alot bigger than what it's set to now.
Also, READ param.c :
#define NPROC (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS)
#define MAXFILES (NPROC*2)
int maxproc = NPROC; /* maximum # of processes */
Increasing MAXUSERS in your kernel will make your god forsaken problem go
away. :-)
