I hope you don't take offense, but 10.5GB is no huge but rather a very small project. But as with all systems, if you use up to many system resources, you run into some system boundaries. Now believe me, 2+1 GB is not much but I have run projects having only 640MB + 1 GB swap. Lately I have 8+8GB and things really fly now. The reason that Cinerella is crashing is maybe more a Cinderella question then anything else. The CV version is relatively stable compared to the original version, but it is still prone to crashes. I even have a script to reset things after a crash because I need it many times. So, just continue and sit back, don't move mouse or whatever and your more likely to have the files included.
