maybe the kernel wil help
When i read your mesage i think off
1) change the kernel parameter "max. processes per user"
2) change the kernel parameter "max. allowed users"
the second one goes because each Xterm = 1 user
since i do not know with taste of UNIX you use i do not know how to change.
maybe you find in the syslog more information about the reason
