Could be a different set of system limits are being applied when jobs are run via Condor.

What does the following report for the shell from where you run your jobs manually:

ulimit -a

And what does that same command report when you run it as a Condor job the same way you run your application?

Also: are your machines homogenous? Are the machines where you run your commands by hand the same (RAM, disk, CPU, etc.) as the machines where jobs run under Condor's control?
