> using the Nyr installer. I couldn't reproduce the error

I do not think that you will be able to reproduce it using the latest
version of my script as I worked around it by setting
"LimitNPROC=infinity" if installing inside a container.

> To begin investigating this issue we first of all need a reproducer

I have not reproduced it, but have a pretty good idea of why it happens.
It is not a problem with containers, it is a problem with shared
environments (OpenVZ VPS mainly) where lots of OpenVPN processes are
already running, so it has to do with those environments not being fully
isolated and LimitNPROC hitting the limit somehow.

The only possible fix would be to disable LimitNPROC or set it to a very
high limit, as far as I know. Anyway this should probably be addressed
upstream.
