I posted:

I am getting the following errors in /var/adm/messages and am wondering if I
need to increase a kernel param to fix it.

SUMMARY:

Bryan Lavelle suggested going to patch kit 3 for 4.0d which fixes some
malloc problems. But he also warned that PK#3 brings back the defragment
cron job. serguei patchkovskii suggested adding:

vm:
  vm-heappercent=10

to /etc/sysconfigtab

I will do this on the next downtime and also schedule some time to put in
PK#3.
