We are running a Digital Alpha 2100 Unix 3.2d. This appeared in the
messages file yesterday:
  swap space below 10 percent free
  Unable to obtail requested swap space
  fork/procdup task_create failed. Code: 0x6

When I do swapon -s the total swap allocation is:
  Allocated space: 129700 pages (1013MB)
  Reserved space: 26797 pages ( 20%)
  In-use space: 15677 pages ( 12%)
  Available space: 102903 pages ( 79%)

Any explanations as to why I got this error and how to prevent it in the
future? Thanks.
