Thank you for this bug report.
Many other similar bugs have been reported, some on Ubuntu, sometimes on Fedora, or even in FreeBSD.
In Ubuntu I speak of bug #216358, bug #314657 and bug #229654.
Could you check if user ID 11789 really exist by doing:
sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep 11789
sudo cat /etc/group | grep 11789
and if so, try to become this user with "su <user>" and issue
ulimit -u
and give the result here.
