It means that the kernel has run out of kernel virtual memory. You have two options: either more carefully tune your system (maxusers, NMBCLUSTERS) to take less KVM, or (difficult) apply various changes to increase the kernel virtual memory. I had to do the latter on wcarchive, but not only does this require kernel changes, but also requires that the userland be rebuilt, and additionally breaks BSD/OS compatibility. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
