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.

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.
