I'm getting the "Fatal error: Ran out of memory" message on one of the reports I run. I read through some of the list archives for tips, but I couldn't figure out what causes the error message. (i.e. Am I out of physical memory? Am I out of virtual memory? Am I out of addressable memory?)
It happens when a malloc() command fails. Exactly what that means in the context of your OS is left as an exercise to the reader.
If more physical RAM or a 64bit processor/OS would take care of the error, I'd rather do that that futz with lowmem commands (which didn't seem to help last time I tried to tackle this).
HOSTLOWMEM 3 is almost always helpful.
