Version 6:
oerr ora 6403
06403, 00000, "NETCMN: cannot allocate context area"

// *Cause:  Insufficient dynamic memory available for connection
//          context area.
// *Action: Contact your customer support representative.

Version 7:
oerr ora 6403
06403, 00000, "Unable to allocate memory." // *Cause: System unable to allocate needed virtual memory. // *Action: Configure more memory, reduce load, or simply try again.

Does this help?
