We are having strange problems with our Sun 3/160 system.  Configuration:

        Sun 3/160 w/ 20 megs memory
        1 xylogics 753 controller
        2 eagle M2351 drives
        16 megs swap

The system had been working fine for several months.  About 3 weeks ago,
it started hanging regularly (twice daily) with the error:

        ldtermrsrv: out of blocks

In checking netstat -m, we notice that it is getting allocation errors for
the dblks in size 16 and 64.  I have tried rebuilding the kernel with
higher maxusers.  I thought I had read somewhere that these were errors
with SunOS 4.0.3.  We have tried getting help from Sun Tech Support.  They
didn't seem to know much about it and thought it was a controller error.

Any suggestions?  I know one problem we have is too small a swap
partition, but would that cause this error?

Thanks,
