 If the error has "emfile" in the reason, it most probably has to do with the ulimit.

 If the error is a TCP driver error saying that max file descriptors can be only a certain value, it has to do with the compilation of Erlang. This link: http://boorad.github.com/2009/07/09/mac-kpoll.html has info.
 Setting the FD_SETSIZE to 8192 worked and limited the TCP driver connections to 8192.
 Setting it to 81920 makes CouchDB fail to start.

 | That worked. The reason why couch didnt start up was the setting of mochiweb acceptor pool to an atrocious 81000! 

 things to look out for:

 ulimit
 ERL_MAX_PORTS
 FD_SETLIMIT

 and the usual kern.maxproc, kern.maxfiles, kern.maxfilesperproc settings
