Sun 3/160 console error msg

I've noticed a number of odd things happening lately on my Sun 3/160.
The first is an error message 'text: table is full'. I'm not sure what
this relates to, but I think it may be something to do with swapping.
It's a message blatted out by the kernel as I've done a 'strings' on
'/vmunix' and located the error message in it.
The other odd thing is that processes are being killed off. Running a
(say) C-shell script that invokes a number of processes like the
compiler etc., results in many of these processes being killed and the
word 'killed' appearing on the terminal that the script was invoked
from. I don't think its anything to do with the max. number of
processes per user in 'include/param.h' as this limit is sufficiently
high and 'ps' stats don't indicate too many processes either. So,
any ideas anyone?

Thanx,
Tony.
