ENOMEM should be returned when an attempt to allocate memory fails.  
It's reported via the kernel because ultimately, memory allocation goes 
through the kernel/system calls.  What are your system specs, RAM, 
typical processes being run, output of top or memory usage summary etc?

Are you running anything 'unusual'- Java tends to be a bit of a hog, 
databases, or learning to program?
