Hard to say for sure. That basically means that SendReceive2 returned
-ENOMEM, and that looks like it could happen for a variety of reasons.
My suspicion would be that it's a client-generated error, but it could
also have been translated from an ERRnomem error or something from the
server.

If this is reproducible then turning up cifsFYI before reproducing it
might help determine the cause.
