Comment:

 Hi,

 Your error seems to come from Varnish being unable to allocate any memory
 for the object, as all memory being available to Varnish is busy at the
 time (tied up to served objects). This can happen when Varnish is running
 with a very small amount of available storage.

 I notice that you are running with two storage backends, where one of them
 is only 32M large, and the other a more reasonable 1G size. 32M is a too
 restricted memory pool for Varnish to run. Your problem likely happens
 during busy times when trying to store to the small storage. It is perhaps
 there by error? I suggest to remove the small storage backend and run only
 with the large one, or increase the small storage significantly.

 -Martin
