EAGAIN	The mapping could not be locked in memory.

	   	There was insufficient room to reserve swap  space
	    for the mapping.

	    The file to be  mapped  is  already  locked  using
	    advisory   or   mandatory   record   locking.  See

It looks like you're either running sorely short of 
memory (unless this documentation is out of date
with respect to Solaris's paging algorithms) or
someone else has locked the file.
