Well, for whatever reason you're flat out of memory. Here's where that
error is generated in cch.cpp, CCH_init.

/* Log if requested number of page buffers could not be allocated. */

if (count != (SLONG) bcb_->bcb_count)
gds__log
("Database: %s\n\tAllocated %ld page buffers of %ld requested",
tdbb->tdbb_attachment->att_filename->str_data, bcb_->bcb_count,
count);

The call above to memory_init calls gds_alloc which calls malloc and
the malloc failed to get the whole page cache. The question is why.

Your system has lots of memory - 2Gb and you'r asking for about 8 Mb.
What else is running on that system?
