User 10002 is a temporary uid generated by Rainbow when it is asked to
launch your activity. The relevant code lives here:

   http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=security;a=blob;f=rainbow/rainbow/inject.py;hb=HEAD

(See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Taste_the_Rainbow for some additional
[slighly outdated] overview documentation.)

P.S. - Please do post your limits.conf patch somewhere for
examination...
