Our site used to have datasets fail recall and give an unable to allocate space messages on very small datasets. Would fail several times in one day. Try it the next and it was able to allocate the very small amount of space and recall the dataset. Happened about every three months for about 2 years. Hasn't occured in about 4 years.
