By "too many files" I presume you mean "too many open files" as in

	#define	EMFILE	24	/* Too many open files			*/

>From the fork(s) man page:

	fork will fail....

		The shared memory table overflows [EMFILE].

None of these configuration parameters should have any effect on this problem.
I would suggest reviewing your /usr/sys/conf/master file to see which shared
memory variables you need to change.  I don't know the correct one off the
top of my head,
