Summary:
As most of you pointed out, I might be out of memory or out
of swap..... I checked the stats through swap and it seemed
like I had enough space, but after I killed a couple of
processes that looked like were hung... The error message went
away....
Most of you told me to reboot the system, and some said to
clear out /tmp, but first make a temporary swap file using
mknod.....
prompt# mkfile 64m /var/tmp/swap_file
prompt# swap -a /var/tmp/swap_file
Thanks to all that replied
