I just logged in on console as root, and ulimit -a reported 256
processes max. So I don't think the problem is with su.
Maybe it's PAM?
I wonder where this gets configured?

No; the problem is only if I try to get an interactive su session:

Interesting. Try ulimit -a. Any strange limits set?

Samba
If I su, I then get the message bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
on almost every command I try.
I found that `exec sh' let me do things. So it seems that something has
changed in the set-up of bash or su
