Hi,
  You probably figured that out by now, but for the book.

You're probably using a 32 bits architecture and then are limited to 4GB
total memory allocation. That being said, that's the maximum you can
have, but the kernel reserved a certain value for it's stack and other
part. Depending of the os, it reserved from 800-2G. For example, many
linuxes cannot go over 2.2Gb without seeing those errors.

I'm not very familiar with HP-UX, so you may find parameter to tweak to
increase that value that you can allocate, but I doubt you could get
more than 3Gb so you may want to decrease your mysql settings so it
doesn't allow that much memory...

Example you set key_buffer_size to 400M, but default table to innodb. SO
if you don't have much myisam table you can reduce that to a much lower
value (say 100M?)

Or you can also decrease the per thread buffer, and limit the
max_connection settings...

I'm sure you could find a lot more info around on the net! This
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/05/17/mysql-server-memory-usage/
also gives a few pertinent information.

If all the memory are needed and you wish to increase those esttings, I
advice to consider a 64 Bits architecture as the next upgrade :) Should
really help with db is starting to get tight in a 32bits one!

Good luck!
