Hi Kary,

    Literally a process you are running has run out of memory.

    Every process under UNIX is permitted a certain max amount of memory for
    data and address space.

    To display your system limits: /sbin/sysconfig -q proc

    To monitor: ps -u -oUFMT
        Examine the data under the '%MEM   VSZ  RSS' fields. 
        Repeat every so often and see if some process attached to your ODBC is
        chewing up memory.

    Best of luck,
