2608979 - Diagnostics Agent fails to start - native thread creation failed (returned error code 11)

It's not possible to start the agent and at  std_smgagent.out you can see the following error:

OS: [15944] 10:03:21 ***Warning: pthread_create failed (11, Resource temporarily unavailable)
: [15944] 10:03:21 ***ERROR (:0): Native thread creation failed: native thread creation failed (returned error code 11): EAGAIN

In other cases, in the std_smdagent.out, you find the following:

os::malloc: failed to malloc <bytes> bytes (errno 12).#
# A fatal error has been detected by SAP Java Virtual Machine:
#
# java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 148928 bytes for Chunk::new - os::malloc. Out of swap space or heap resource limit exceeded (check with limits or ulimit)?
