Did you say what version of Solaris 10 you were using? I had similar problems
on Sol10 U2, booting a database. This involved first initializing the data
files (a few Gb), then starting the server(s) which tried to allocate a large
chunk of shared memory. This failed miserably since ZFS had
or
limitations for running with ZFS.

ZFS does release memory if I e.g. do a simple malloc(), but using this
intimate shared memory (flag SHM_SHARE_MMU in the call to shmat()), this does
not happen. BTW the OS here was Solaris 10 U2; the 8Gb machines I'm using now
are running U3.
Hmm, looks like this may have been fixed in U3,
