frequent error occuring

[chimaira]

hello guys.

Basically our forum www.chimairaboard.com has been running for ooo roughly year and a half. and NEVER experienced any database errors... it wasnt untill today we keep getting db errors on and off all day

the db message im getting is as follows:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.2:

Invalid SQL:

        SELECT
            user.username, (user.options & 512) AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
            session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity,
            IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
        FROM session AS session
        LEFT JOIN user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
        WHERE session.lastactivity > 1144184198
        ORDER BY username ASC;

i havnt touched any files/any settings./muched with the sql at all in the past few weeks....|

ive spoken to support at the webhost and they said it may be an sql load!

but why now? its never happened before. im hoping someone will recognise this error and hopefully help me to correct this issue... as the error comes up. and goes after about 30 seconds.... then give it 1-2 minutes and wham bam its back again... im totally stumped

scott@lovelace:~$ perror 12
OS error code 12: Cannot allocate memory

This indicates a server error, possibly low on memory or damaged memory.

Apparently they did some sql tweaking.. and now i have no problems.
