  Obviously, something called "NetLOCK" tried to allocate more memory,
and failed.  That's usually not a good sign if you need the program
that's having trouble.

  You might want to check your total memory status.  Try the command
"free -m -t".

  A Google for "NetLock" appears to find lots of people using that
name for one thing or another.  A VPN client seems like a likely
canidate.  Are you using a VPN?
