Re: Could not map memory to RCS archive ...: Resource temporarilyunavailable

[Jake Colman]

Although I replied privately to Arthur I'd like to post the resolution
to the general list.

It turns out that this error is triggered when the server is in a
low-memory situation.  Something was screwed up on our box and we have
almost run out of swap space.  As soon as we resolved that this problem
went away.

Thanks.
