Can you give us a little more information, it's possible it may not have been an Apple Error.
From what I've learned researching the error and experiencing it myself, it means your system has launched too many processes and the launch daemon has run out of resources to pool. This can happen when something resource-consuming gets stuck in a loop.
This error happened to me today when some process started opening tons of .dmg files on a backup drive. I think it was VirusBarrier X6 while doing a full system scan, but I'm not sure. Disk mount windows started blasting open at a fast rate and I didn't figure out what was doing that until the Finder got overloaded, crashed and started displaying that error repeatedly while it tried to relaunch only to crash again. I ended up having two looped processes going then!
Searching the support archives, the "too many processes" error has been reproduced by having too many SMB Windows shares spawned as well.
I rebooted, and everything was fine. I'm not inclined to reproduce the error since I'm on a production machine but I hope this information helps!
