If you are using AWE, you need to give the agent user (in Windows) the
lock pages in memory permission.

You probably aren't using AWE if you don't know about it. You have to
provide /PAE as a boot command-line option, and it only applies to 32
bit OS, 32 bit SQL, and > 2GB of memory allocated to SQL.
