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.
