I have also encountered this problem on our Suns. It just tells you that you
have been using your swap space a bit generously... The message can be
repeated quite easy: setup a number of shelltools running relatively
processes, e.g. Emacs, and then try to compile a file with a huge number of
preprocessor constants and #includes. Your cpp will print out a message
"... killed", and the console window reads "text: table is full". Maybe Sun
Inc. can give you more detailed information.
