It seems I'm able to reproduce it easily now.

1. emacs -Q
2. eval below:

(progn
  (dotimes (i 50)
    (start-process "hi" nil "ls")
    (message "%d" i)
    ;(sleep-for 1)
    ))

It gives an error:
   while: Spawning child process: resource temporarily unavailable

The same code works well under linux, i can even set counter to 1000,
just takes some time to finish.
