See ulimit -l: $ ulimit -l 32 The actual hard and soft limits are controlled on a Red Hat system using the pam_limits pam module, using the config file /etc/security/limits.conf Check the doc's from RHEL4 for the pam module for details : /usr/share/doc/pam-0.77/txts/README.pam_limits This may well be where the ENOMEM came from, as the default limit that a user may lock memory is 32kB.
