Thanks goes out to Craig Shaver for his reply (the only one I received).
Here is his response to me:
-----
It sure looks to me like you ran out of pty's. You need to specify
more than 48 (the default) pty's in /etc/system. Not sure of the
specific set pty syntax, but should be in the answerbook. Or
at docs.sun.com.
Ok, I took a quick peek. It should be
set pt_cnt=128
or whatever..... this is from 2.5, I don't think it should
change under 2.6, but .....
This was in the 2.5 sys admin answerbook, sysadmin guide vol II,
tuning kernel parameters.
-------
I added the set pt_cnt=128 in my /etc/system file and then did a boot
-r. Problem resolved. I can now pop windows and apps to my heart's
content.
..Again thanks to Craig.

In fact I do not remember ever seeing this error message on my machine before. This is not a server and granted I may be popping more windows than I need (one for every server I look after), but I never had problems under 2.5.1.

I will summarize. TO reply, remove the "x" in my return address.
