Ok...so as suggested, check your ulimits for that user. The user has probably reached their limit for max processes as specified in etc/security/limits.conf.
As root, these commands can give you a clue as to the the number of processes and of open files for the given user:
ps -U username | wc -l
lsof | grep username | wc -l
Again, to fix the issue, you have to increase the soft limit in the /etc/security/limits.conf file.
Also, you're using Red Hat Enterprise on VMware with Websphere...every piece is a commercial, pay-for product. Have you contacted Red Hat or IBM support, since you're paying for it?
