I think so.

That would be one solution, but only if you have other tasks
sharing a user ID currently.  If you have a machine where a
single user ID wants to run many processes (more than 80), you
could take a look at the problem report kern/3702 by Yours Truly,
which suggests a tweak which makes it possible to increase this
limit at kernel configure time.
