It is hard to tell with the information you are giving, but perhaps you
are hitting the default limit for the number of simultaneous backends 
(32). You can increase this by passing -N <number> to postmaster at
startup from the command line (naturally, this should be greater than 32,
perhaps 64). Increasing the number of backends necessitates the increasing
of the number of buffers.

More info in the postgres documentation.
