We need more info. What does your postgresql.conf say about
max_connections? How much ram do you have? How much
shared memory have you allocated?

First bet is that you are running into a maximum-number-of-processes-
per-user limit imposed by "ulimit -u".

It's also possible that you need more RAM or swap space.

Mph.  Well, that doesn't seem to be the problem, unless you are starting
a whole lot of other processes besides the backends under the same UID.
(However: are you sure the postmaster has been started with this same
ulimit setting?)

It sounds like some system call is failing with EAGAIN, but it's not
real clear which one.  If you're running 7.4, let's see the verbose form
of the error message (see log_error_verbosity, or set psql's VERBOSITY
variable).  If not, updating to 7.4 might be the easiest way to get more
info.

We could have saved some time if you'd spelled out the full error
message to begin with.

This is undoubtedly a kernel-imposed restriction you are running into.
I'm not sure if the failure is related to sheer number of processes,
number of open files, or RAM/swap space, but one way or another you are
trying to create more processes than your kernel will support.

It seems moderately unlikely that twenty or thirty Postgres processes
would by themselves be able to run the kernel out of resources (although
if the problem is related to number of open files, reducing
max_files_per_process might help).  What else do you have running on
this machine?
