Sadly most distros seem to freeze as the limits are meant to maximize performance and not make it secure, even Ubuntu.
Can someone shed light on what knobs/limits to tweak to deal with this "problem" ?
Add this to your /etc/security/limits.conf * hard nproc 2048
Which controls how many processes a user can create. Atleast the ubuntu box stays alive and lets admin login and kill offending processes.
