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)
