Are you running it from inetd ? If so 40 is the default maximum
number of server instances that can be spawned from inetd in
a 60 second interval. It's configurable ( more in the man page for inetd)
It doesn't look like an inetd error though... hmmm. I haven't
used courier-imap in ages...

I know it's an obvious question, but you did stop all courier processes
and restart the entire thing ?
