Do we have a memory problem ?

Hello Everybody, I'm new here and looking for a bit of advice.

Could anyone take a look at our top output and tell me if this is an acceptable memory situation.

Reason being we have recently started getting 'bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory' errors when doing even the simplest telnet commands.

We are on a VPS package with globalservers.

BTW I know just enough about *nix to be dangerous.
