Is this a 32-bit machine? If so, then you've just used up all your
address space. 4GB max minus 1GB for the kernel, lose some more for
the application and all the libraries, stack,etc...

There are certain things which really need 64-bit machines: not for
the processing speed, but for the address space.

Have a nice day,
