To me: not. This is some configuration problem, not lack of mmaped
address space or lack of free pages. It's true that NOMEM is also used
for limits (e.g. "The process's maximum number of mappings would have
been exceeded.", "The process's RLIMIT_DATA limit, described in
getrlimit(2), would have been exceeded."), but I am not sure whether
this fits this case.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
