Er, no it doesn't.  This means you have too many open files in the system.
If 'maxusers' is less than 128, bump that up first.  Then you can try 
defining MAXFILES in your config file if you still hit the limit; check 
the output of 'sysctl kern.maxfiles' to find what it's currently at.

to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view.  [Dr. Fritz Todt]
