A bit of quick googling confirmed that there is (or can be) a per-zone
memory cap.  I'll bet Greg has nailed it.  The docs I found claim that
the cap management code is smart enough to count shared memory only
once, which would eliminate the most obvious way in which the cap might
be way off; but it still sounds like checking into that configuration
setting is job #1.
