Turned out the error was being caused by having single quotes in math equations. I was using them to indicate derivatives. I changed them to \prime and everything worked! Also it didn't like it if I placed a single quote inside a \mbox within a math equation. Anyone know why this is? Thanks.

I assume the bulk of these are bitmaps? If the bitmaps are previews (see, for instance, http://bourbon.usc.edu/tgif/faq/importeps.html), I would chop them out; they won't (at least, shouldn't) be used when generating PDF output. Don't know if they would cause LaTeX to run out of memory, though. If that's not the source of the memory problem, you might try a divide-and-conquer approach. Chop out pieces of the thesis until you get something that compiles, then put things back until you either identify a maximum amount of the document that compiles or identify one particular piece that's at fault (meaning the entire document minus that piece compiles, and that piece by itself does not). If it's the latter case, use divide-and-conquer within just that piece to find the culprit. /Paul
