I've just seen this error when running a racket web server on a VPS running linux--not Windows---with 4GB of ram. Is this likely the same error? In this case, the process itself shouldn't be using more than 100MB or so of live data, but perhaps it just never collects and constantly increases the virtual memory address space?
