He's probably not really out of memory, but has badly fragmented memory. 
We just had a similar event yesterday caused by a VIP gone bad.  Due to 
[insert IOS bug speculation], after a VIP crashed several times, our RSP 
memory was so badly fragmented that BGP sessions couldn't stay up (we'd 
run out of memory and they'd get reset) and the router wouldn't allow me 
to do a redundancy force-switchover.  Under "normal" conditions, this 
router has 96MB free (running 12.2S).
