Not only should you check out if you have enough resources on your workstation,
feenix (I love the name, you must be a StarCraft Junkie), you should also check to
make sure that the resources are available on junior.

 I could think of a problem on Junior, where there isn't enough memory on the
target machine, to spawn a new secure shell process.  The 'not enough resources'
could be coming from when ssh launches bash on the machine junior. (It's a long
shot)

I would type ssh -v junior, to see where the resource unavailable message is
coming from -- from your machine, or from junior.
