Are there large number of tags on the nodes?  That is a known 
possibility of getting out of memory for files that would
otherwise be small enough.

I plan to fix that, but preprocessing to remove unneeded ones is the
only solution at the moment, apart from splitting the file.

If not, then I could take a look at it if you put it somewhere downloadable.
