Some application has been hogging all the memory and you're running out
of physical and/or paging space.

You'll have to figure out which application has 'run away' with the
memory usage.

# ps -efl | more

would be a good start, if you can get that far.

Also, if you have to reboot to recover, check out 'errpt -a|more' to see
what process the VMM killed off to recover memory. That might offer some
clue as to what were the really big memory hogs.
