Same here on a Debian-Linux system with 8 GB RAM. Earlier today, things 
were working fine when I was using an older version of osmjs (from 
around mid-September). In the afternoon, I updated all dependencies, 
refreshed from github and re-compiled osmjs. Now I can't process 
germany.osm.pbf anymore: after about 1:30 min., the process aborts with 
the above error.

The problem doesn't seem to be related to the type of node location 
store, it even occurs with: -l none
