The "read errors mapping" error is output when the read() calls for a
file
returned an error to the sender.  The errno (12) is what the OS indicated
for the failure.  Having a read() return "Cannot allocate memory"
makes it
seem like something is very wrong in the OS -- that's not a typical error
that read() should return.
