Oracle Installer Swap Space Problem (Solaris 11)

Hello,

I am attempting to install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.4.0 in a Solaris zone running on 64-bit Solaris 11 (SPARC).  The zone has 16 GB of swap allocated to it, and all of the standard commands for checking swap space confirm this from within the zone:

$ swap -s

total: 79448k bytes allocated + 605768k reserved = 685216k used, 16092000k available

$ vmstat 1 2

Also, the Oracle installer prints these messages to the console when it starts:
