Sounds like your memory is fragmented. IIRC, bmap tries to map all the extents in a single buffer, and that might cause problems for files with large numbers of extents. ENOMEM can occur if an internal buffer cannot be allocated to hold all the extents to be mapped in one call. Try using the "-n <num_extents>" option to reduce the number of extents gathered per ioctl call and see if that makes the issue go away.
