Yeah the bug you've found is the one which might have solved it for some server-flavors.
Thanks for Looking that up!

That said I think we are good to close this one here as dup to 1561658
then.

Title:
  User processes are counted towards systemd limit for sshd processes
  (add libpam-systemd to openssh-server)

Status in systemd:
  New
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When running Xenial, user processes are counted towards the limit for
  the ssh.service, with a limit of 512. So if I login as a normal user
  via ssh and start 512 processes, nobody will be able to login any more
  and even all other users currently logged in will not be able to start
  any new tasks. I'm not certain whether this behaviour is by design,
  but to me it looks like a critical DOS possibility, so tagging as
  security bug.
