- One thing you might look into is whether you have sufficient
- swap space. If you run out of swap space you will see
- this message also. Running "pstat -s" will tell you
- what's in use and what's available. You can add
- swap space on the fly with "swapon", and additional
- swap partitions in /etc/fstab. Do a man on "swapon"
- and "fstab".
