Check current limits by issuing; this output is from my Ubuntu machine:
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 16379
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 16379
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited
I marked settings that would probably need closer attention. Easies way to troubleshoot the problem is to set everything to unlimited and see if it helps.
Also, check if you have enough swap - Sun Studio needs at least one gig of swap and 512 RAM (see http://docs.sun.com/source/820-2973/release_notesML.html#SystemReqs).
