signal 11 is a illegal memory error. I suspect the users involved have
different ulimits. ulimit is an internal process which limits the
amount of system resources, such as virtual memory. root would
typically have no limits, which is why it starts up there.

[On a PC server, signal 11 is usually a hardware memory error... not
the case here.]
