Bug Description
Logging into a shared server with multiple users, running byobu crashes (bringing the terminal with it.
It appears to start up partially (showing the two lines at the bottom). However what the lines display is:
first line:
-* ajray@short 152.14.93.72
second line:
pipe: Too many open files unavailable
I can't exit/suspend/
I can verify that just running screen normally works, and that i can start multiple screens without running into the 'pipe: Too many open files' error.
Let me know what else I can supply to help

Hi there, thanks for the report.
Well that is a bummer!
Is this a very underpowered machine? How cpu/ram does it have?
Can you try this? Can you disable all of the status notifications? Just go through the variables in ~/.byobu/status and set them all to 0, and then try to run byobu again...
