What DOES happen:
on a good run, I get the error message:

My guess would be that, somewhere in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/*,
or some similar startup file associated with your shell, is a command
that starts either another shell, or another X session, or some
similar thing.  When you run "startx" it runs a shell, which runs that
command, which runs another shell, and so on until you have no more
available processes and/or RAM.

I suspect it's in /etc/profile et al. rather than a file in your home
directory because you say it happens no matter which user starts X.
