Could you try ulimit -a?

Have you got a lot of processes running as "nobody"?

$ ps -fjlLunobody

$ sudo lsof -u nobody

Or maybe it could be "su" that exits and bash gets killed
because it is orphaned or something like that?

Too many processes running as root? You would see other
problems. Could be the number of open files by the process.

Do you get it from the Linux console (emacs -nw)?

Have you tried changing nobody's shell?
