That's not a too-many-open-connections error.  I don't know what it
is, in fact --- but I can tell you there is no such error message
string anywhere in the 7.0.* source code, because I just looked.
It must be coming out of some non-PG code, perhaps a startup script
or the C library.

What PG version are you using, on what platform?  Exactly when and where
does this message show up?
