MacOS X has extremely few bpf's in /dev by default. While there's an
attempt to overcome this (by waiting for some time for free bpfs instead
of returning right away), there's no silver bullet.
Try to reduce the number of hosts/plugins executed in parralell, and try
again, the errors should go away.
