ulimit for memory usage is never unlimited. Look at ulimit -a. Check
the data size listed. To enlarge, change login.conf settings for
datasize-max and datasize-cur and don't forget to re-login.
The pax problem you are hitting could very well be memory-related too.
As a workaround, you might want to try to not copy the complete tree
in one go, but copy the various subirs separately. Or would that destroy
the hardlink structure?
