Well if it's a current mac/windows/linux VM then your image has
attempted to allocate all 512MB of memory on mac, or I believe 1GB on
windows and linux.
These limits are alterable, either on the command line, or in a plist.
Operating system limits might dictate the upper limits here if the OS
won't reach those values
or won't lie about those limits. What happens is that when memory
actually runs low it signals the low space semaphore which triggers the
"Space is low" warning.
If you do a help space left what does it say. Also do a help vm
statistics. and report the results.
Either you have run out of memory and get this message, rare and
usually quickly causes a lockup, or
you have attempted to pass some bogus very large value to new: which
cannot be satisfiied. Hitting debug and
looking at the stack might tell you why and where you for example need
500MB of memory?
