Dear Demetres,

I agree with what James says: this is the operating system trying to to 
prevent, in an over-zealous way, the 
forking of too many or too big (in terms of memory) processes.
In other words, XDS hasn't changed, but the operating system changed - it 
applies different limits to its processes.
Your friendly system administrator should try to find out exactly which 
limit(s) changed, and reset the value(s).
Perhaps a hint is in the Release Notes of Ubuntu 22.04 ?

Pls report here when you've found it - currently you are the only one reporting 
it.

Best wishes,
Kay
