Question UNIX memory problems w/Progress DB

We are currently running HP-UX 11 as our database server. The database is Progress version 9.1C.

As of late, some of our batch processes that run on the UNIX db server are erroring out because of what appear to be memory issues(at least according to Progress). The db error messages indicate that either there are too may subprocesses and it cannot fork, there is not enough memory to execute the request, or there is not enough memory to allocate a sort buffer. There does not appear to be a consistent pattern to when this happens. Also, we don't appear to be exceeding swap space.

Not sure what else it could be. If any of you have encountered similiar problems, how did you resolve it? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

fbsql_db_status - Get the status for a given database

SYNOPSIS
int fbsql_db_status (string $database_name, [resource $link_identifier]) DESCRIPTION
Gets the current status of the specified database. PARAMETERS
o $database_name - The database name. o $ link_identifier -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified, the function will try to find an open link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it will try to create one as if fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. RETURN VALUES
Returns an integer value with the current status. This can be one of the following constants: o FALSE - The exec handler for the host was invalid. This error will occur when the $link_identifier connects directly to a database by using a port number. FBExec can be available on the server but no connection has been made for it. o FBSQL_UNKNOWN - The Status is unknown. o FBSQL_STOPPED - The database is not running. Use fbsql_start_db(3) to start the database. o FBSQL_STARTING - The database is starting. o FBSQL_RUNNING - The database is running and can be used to perform SQL operations. o FBSQL_STOPPING - The database is stopping. o FBSQL_NOEXEC - FBExec is not running on the server and it is not possible to get the status of the database.
