First: Are you really sure you need to put that file under revision control?
       What is it?

Second: The error message tells it all: cvs runs out of memory when it tries
        to swallow such a huge file. I don't know exactly where you've to add
        memory (are you working client/server or local?), but I guess at least
        you've to increase your swapspace. You may also run into trouble with
        insufficient temporary disk space. Have a look at
        http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC37
