The controller runs of course waitpid() on the terminated processes to
un-zombie these, and obviously this does not work. I guess you reach
then the maximum number of processes after some time.

You say "vServer" but there are several such technologies (Linux
containers, Virtuozzo, maybe some derived products). I also don't know
much about this corner of the OS.

What would definitely help is an strace -f of the server.
