Subject: crash on 1.3.2: panic: malloc: out of space in kmem_map

I noticed one of our servers has rebooted and found this in
/var/log/messages:


Mar 27 20:31:42 lyons savecore: reboot after panic: malloc: out of space
in kmem_map
Mar 27 20:31:42 lyons savecore: /var/crash/bounds: No such file or
directory
Mar 27 20:31:42 lyons savecore: writing core to /var/crash/netbsd.0.core
Mar 27 20:33:15 lyons savecore: writing kernel to /var/crash/netbsd.0


What does this panic mean? How can I fix it? 

BTW, the machine in question has 512 MB ECC RAM and I've never seen it
use more than a fraction of that (perhaps 150 MB). The machine is used
as a Web and mail server.

This is on NetBSD/i386 1.3.2.

Gunnar
