hmm .. ? weird.
Can you give a "strace -f" please ?

Wasn't the container previously created and, if yes, did you specified a 
rootfs which may not contain "/bin/bash" ?

No you can run thousand of them but you need to specify different names.

lxc-execute -n foo1 /bin/bash
lxc-execute -n foo2 /bin/bash
etc ...

Not necessarily, you can call lxc-execute with a configuration file, 
without creating the container before.

You can launch any numbers of containers you want. It is up to you to 
define the right configuration for each container you launch in order to 
prevent resources overlaps and conflicts.

I was able to spawned 1000 applications on the same host simultaneously, 
as well as launching 100 debian containers with  a btrfs cow filesystem.
