Apparently there are less than 52 MB of free memory left. The resulting vector contours must be quite large. Try to export GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM=1 before running r.contour. Maybe also use a larger step or less levels.
Markus, Tried both. Still cannot complete the creation of contours from the raster.
export GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM=1 time r.contour --overwrite in=highest_hit_2010 out=highest_hit_contours step=0.5
