No it does NOT ! It means that the system is out of IPC channels.
Kjell, have you by any chance been killing node with something like
"kill -KILL" or otherwise made it terminate abnormally while testing your
stuff? Node used to have a bug that caused it to leak IPC channels but
that should be fixed (see the HISTORY file).
Note that node not getting a free IPC channel is not a fatal bug. At least
not to node. Only the the "TAlk" command is affected (disabled). Some
other software on your system might however need a free channel too...

I seem to have vague recollection that clx has had problems with IPC
channels as well. I'm not sure however as I don't run it my self.
