when no memory free and paging space fills up, there's no room to spawn new processes like a ksh (or even increasing the ps from an alreaady running shell)
maybe you should increase your ps and analyze what's eating up memory...

HIH

later!

You can increase paging space with "chps -s". If you don't know your paging LV, "lsps -a" will tell you.

"svmon -P" is one way you can tell who is using what memory including Pgsp. "topas" is also helpful.

All the above answers are correct, if you are not confident with commands you can also use smitty chps which may be easier.
