Just a guess. Show us `ulimit -a`. Try setting your memory limit to unlimited if it's not. /tmp should have plenty of space. Check that *at the time* the error occurs, not after it. It may help if you set TMPDIR to somewhere else so /tmp won't be used too much. Increasing your swap space should also help.
