This is one complex tile. If you only have 2GB of RAM I recommend tuning down the MaxComplexity setting on your machine.
Given that the tileset that failed has a size of File size: 12.4 MB

I recomment setting it to something around 10000000 (and lower if you still see freezes). This will refuse tilesets that have a bgger byte size than the setting. There is a patch to implement auto-tuning of the maxcomplexity setting, but that hasn't been incorporated yet.
