I get syslog NOTICE messages like these quite a lot.

Oct 22 12:03:49 focsys unix: NOTICE: growreg - Insufficient memory to allocate 364675 pages - system call failed
Oct 22 12:03:49 focsys unix: NOTICE: getcpages - waiting for 1 contiguous pages


Any ideas as to why this happens? Our system is an Interactive Unix
2.2 system (SysV Release 3.2.x)
