After a while he needed to restart MySQL (made some changes somewhere) and
it refused to do so:

050726 14:13:12  mysqld started
050726 14:13:12  InnoDB: Error: cannot allocate 7340048384 bytes of
InnoDB: memory with malloc! Total allocated memory
InnoDB: by InnoDB 78086952 bytes. Operating system errno: 12
[[...]]

He then rebooted the entire server and:
[[...]]
...it runs happily again.

Any ideas anyone on the cause and (more importantly) how to fix this
problem?

On my machine (Linux: SuSE 9.1), I have this line in /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h :
   #define ENOMEM          12      /* Out of memory */

So it looks like some address space (paging area?) was not yet free when the restart was attempted. Maybe the MySQL server had not yet fully terminated?

HTH,
Joerg
