setuid(2) says:

       EAGAIN The uid does not match the current uid and  uid  brings  process
              over its RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit.

So you've somewhere limited the number of processes for users. Debian
has them in /etc/security/limits.conf. I'm not exactly sure what reads
that file and how those limits are passed to kernel.
