In addition to what Henning Brauer suggests it is also possible
that you are filling up the system process table.  This number can
be changed via 'sysctl kern.maxproc'.  When this happens the kernel
writes "proc table full" to the console and the kernel message
buffer (dmesg).  If you are not seeing this message then it is
probably a resource limit issue and you should check out the manuals
HB mentions above.
