Comment 7 for bug 216358

Bernd,

Can you please provide the output of 'ps -u 1001' on this system?

I'm not sure how you've managed to hit the process limit during normal operation, without having set a lower limit in /etc/security/limits.conf.

If uid 1001 is your user (as confirmed by 'getent passwd 1001'), could you also run 'ulimit -S -u' and post that output?
