The kernal stores indexes to next-hops.  There is only a limited number 
of next-hop indexes that can be stored before memory is full and 
produce the message you are seeing.

It would help to know your configuration. a 'show route summary' and 
'show pfe route summary' just to get the idea of the size of your 
routing tables.

Also what type of hardware you are using could help
