I added an entry to the manpage saying:
+Byobu requires a suitable \fBulimit\fP(3) values to run. If you get an error
at startup saying, 'pipe: too many open files', then check your ulimit -a
values, as your "open files" or "max user processes" are too low. In this
case, you will probably need to run simple \fBscreen\fP(1)
