Well, do a show mem proximate to the time the failure. Fragmentation might
be rearing it's ugly head, just becuase you start with enough memory doesn't
mean it'll last. In this case it couldn't allocate a block of 64K contig.
There are a number of features that you don't want to turn on in cases
were you're taking full routes - soft reconfig & multiple paths seem to
take a lot of memory, there are probably others...
