SOMETHING is eating fixed resources--often it's process table slots, sometimes memory. Every command must fork/exec to run if it's external to the current shell. You can try 'exec _command_'--if it's not memory, but rather something like process table slots, whatever "command" you try will run, but at its termination you'll lose that process. A reboot is certainly in order, along with periodic snapshots of your running system's resources afterward.
