Looks like an OS problem to me.
The underlying problem is 'AT&T System V/386 Error: 12: Not enough space'. Oracle is asking for memory to add allocate to the PGA to accomodate the size of the cursor, and the OS is not giving Oracle the memory. Most like not enough swap space and/or physical memory on the machine.
