Pool is 830.38GB comprising 3460758 files and 4369 directories (as of 11/25 14:38), The host in question was 76GB and it contained several multi GB files. Anybody got any ideas? More info - it seems to be triggered by restoring lots of already compressed files (in the two cases I've seen one was an iTunes library and the other was a photo archive of camera raw compressed .tif files). I can reproduce it from the command line - the perl instance grows to 363 MB stays there for a while then grows to 1GB (dlimit on this box) and fails.   Other restores with similar numbers of files run to completion and it stay around 40-50mb.
