Issue
A GCM / LCM stops working and displays the error message "Insufficient System RAM". It no longer responds to information requests via the front panel keyboard/display nor via XPSI software connected on either of the available serial ports.
A power cycle restores functionality but only for a limited amount of time (ie: hours or days).
