These are two different processes, so I can't think of any other reason than that your kernel really is running out of memory. Unfortunately net_connect_unix() does two syscalls, but the out-of-memory most likely comes from socket(). Its manual page says: ENOBUFS or ENOMEM Insufficient memory is available. The socket cannot be created until sufficient resources are freed. I don't know if "resources" means more than just actual memory.
