Can't allocate heap space error

Hi,

        We are receiving an application error indicating problems allocating heap
space using malloc. The error occurs on both v3.2, v4.0, and v4.0a. The
application is written in C++, using an object database (Objectivity).
Below is an example of the error.

ooVArray(type)::resize(): Can't allocate more heap space by using malloc(),
the system will free some space and retry it
ooVArray(type)::resize(): Can't allocate more heap space by using malloc(),
the system will free some space and retry it
ooVArray(type)::resize(): Storage Manager: Out of memory, cannot allocate
additional 131072 bytes in the cache. (170001)

I have tried increasing the parameter "vm-heappercent", with no success.

The problem has occured on two separate systems, a 4100 with 2GB memory,
and a 2100 with 612MB configured.

Any ideas where else I can look.


Regards,

Justin
