I was attempting to run a bltwish application and the script just hung for no apparent reason. When I attempted to look at the application via ps in terminal, I was told there were no more processes. I suspect that I had something like 132 processes running at the time. Since I am using X11 applications often, I usually have a large number of processes running, quitting a few applications allow my bltwish application to run normally. My question is then: what is the maximum number of processes and is there any way to increase this number (kernel recompile is required?). Would switching from 10.2 user to 10.2 server help on this issue? Would the maximum number of processes increase?
Yes, edit:

Go down to the bottom, see where it has:

if [ -f /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist -o "${SERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ];
then
sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2048
fi

Well you can just get rid of that server part. :)

sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2048
