You're running out of (virtual) memory -- check the amount of real
memory and available swap space (on the server if you're running client/
server).  Also check for any per-process limits on memory.  And think
about what you're doing: there are very few 24MB source files, you
probably shouldn't be checking that file into CVS in the first place.
