Oops, I was trying very hard to provide all relevant information, but,
sure enough, I forgot to mention that I did see that message, and that the
problem manifested after I changed the limits.  I have:

$ cat /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session\ Manager/SubSystems/Windows
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=2048,4096,1024 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16

compared to the previous value of:

$ cat /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session\ Manager/SubSystems/Windows-prev
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16

I didn't quite double all the values -- perhaps doubling wasn't overkill
after all...
