Well, at some point in the history your machine had 4200 processes running.
You might be able to find at least some idea of when this happened by
looking at timestamps of other messages around that one in the messages
file.

.... but by now it looks like there are only 541.
There's nothing connecting the information frmo 'top' to something that
happened at some earlier point in time.

I remember encountering this problem several years ago on HPUX
when few processes were running. There are other tables involved
and this message confused me for a while.
Also look into the shared memory table and the semaphore table.
I think one of those filled not the process table. One way to get
this problem is to run a database without doing the required kernel
tuning settings.
