You can run out of memory for a number of reasons: high traffic to/through the cpu, sw bug, etc. You can check out the following link for possible assistance:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/mallocfail.shtml

This link will help you troubleshoot the problem and possibly match against a known issue. However, if you can't find a match, you will likely need to open a TAC case for this problem. If you submit a case be sure to include a 'show tech' taken from enable mode, your complete logging buffer 'sh log', and as much detail about any changes to the configuration or your network operating environment. Also, when did the problem start, how frequent has it been, etc. If you collect any data per the above tech tip include that as well.
