It means what it says. You are out of heap space or your maxdsiz is too small.
If you export that environment variable and make the emergency pool larger, try 1024, you might get that stack trace.

Hi ,

ERROR IN LIBUNWIND: OUR OF MEMORY ,TRY WITH A HIGER VALUE CURRENT VALUE IS (value = 32).In earlier post i had written value is 16, This error is coming while some sql related queries are running, in the mean time system performance is slowing down.i want know why pid is killed when the error log came.

The first error occurs because you are out of heap space to call U_STACK_TRACE. This call may be because of the Signal 11.
If you want a more complete stack trace you can make the emergency pool larger:
export UNWIND_RESERVE_MEM=10000

Dennis, can you please explain me in detail how to make the emergency pool larger and exporting the UNWIND_RESERVE MEM variable?
Where and how can I exactly export the variable - UNWIND_RESERVE_MEM.

I told you above. If you have a real shell you do:
export UNWIND_RESERVE_MEM=10000

>Where and how can I exactly export the variable - UNWIND_RESERVE_MEM.

You do this before you start your application. If this is a demon, you would have to work harder to find where to do it.
