I changed the value back to 100 and rebooted:

Can I assume this is after reconfiguring but before rebooting? After a reboot, 100 should appear under both 'Configured' and 'Runtime'.
Here is the vmware.log of clone #58:

Assuming they are all of this size, you should be able to power on more than that. I think you're still hitting the default maxVMs limit on a 4GB host for some reason.
