Did you update your process limits? On my computer, the defaults
(as listed by ulimit in ksh) are:
 
> ulimit -a 
time(cpu-seconds)    unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
coredump(blocks)     unlimited
data(kbytes)         131072
stack(kbytes)        2048
lockedmem(kbytes)    254825
memory(kbytes)       764476
nofiles(descriptors) 64
processes            160
