Unfortunately the arch program is not optimized for real-world use and tries to load the whole mbox archive into RAM. Not a clever thing to do. One day we'll have to re-write it so that it is less memory intensive. For now you can try using the arbitrary numbering scheme to run the arch program - and split the task into several smaller ones, or you can edit your mbox archive and dump some of the earlier emails.
I like to copy off the mbox at the end of the year and start from a fresh one in January. I generally have my archives set so that they do a monthly grouping. Once you cross into the new month, there is no reason to keep the older emails from younger months - just don't delete the html archives for those months.
