@Dustin: I actually tried this a while ago, with something like 3.10
Just tried with the latest 4.9 version, and I still get the same thing... It creates the basic screen structure, but then it just hangs by saying 'pipe: Trop de fichiers ouverts' (too many files open) in the status bar.
I tried setting everything to 0 in my ~/.byobu/status, and the result is exactly the same...
(by the way, I had nothing else running under my user account, excepted the shell in which I launched byobu)
As for the limitation of the number of processes, on any linux box, it is unlimited. In the case of a shared server, such a limit makes sense as it prevents a user to launch too many programs, and thus overloading the server to the detriment of other users.

Hope this helps ;)
