I can't find that message in our sources or in our language files, so
it must be happening in glibc or other system library, probably
during a malloc() call.  We do a _lot_ of those.

Is it possible that you have a hard ulimit (bash terminology) set in
your shell that's causing this problem?

Are you hooked to internet feeds and getting thousands of stations,
or are you on a tnc only?

Connected to a full firenet feed, I've had over 20,000 stations/
objects displayed with no problems.

Here are my ulimits on this box:

	> ulimit -a
	core file size (blocks)     0
	data seg size (kbytes)      unlimited
	file size (blocks)          unlimited
	max locked memory (kbytes)  unlimited
	max memory size (kbytes)    unlimited
	open files                  1024
	pipe size (512 bytes)       8
	stack size (kbytes)         unlimited
	cpu time (seconds)          unlimited
	max user processes          1024
	virtual memory (kbytes)     unlimited
