ENOMEM is typically a memory allocation failure which is not what a 
client is going to think of regarding the ring, and it's not a unique 
failure code in this case.  gen_tre can also return ENOMEM, which makes 
it difficult for the client to know if there is some significant 
failure, or they might just need to wait (assuming that is something the 
client can do).
