[SunHELP] Not enough memory

[Mike's List]

Exactly what it said "Not enough memory" to execute any of the commands.
Either some process(es) got out of hand and spawn more processes or simply
the system just have too many processes running and not enough memory
and/or swap to handle all of the requests.
