Couldn't Allocate Memory 2.1.18

[Brian E. Seppanen]

I have a linux debian 3.1 host that is running on a Sun Netra 1405 Sparc 
Architecture.    I just compiled cfengine-2.1.18 on this host and when I 
try to restart cfservd I get the following

: Couldn't get interfaces
: ioctl: Cannot allocate memory

I get the same output when trying to run cfagent.  The following is all 
that I get before the errors.

Setting cfengine new port to 5308

I've likewise tried to use 2.1.17 and that failed as well.   The source 
code I downloaded was the latest snapshot.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
