OS X 10.4.11 numpy 1.0 python 2.5.1

I have been running some data analyses and getting errors such as the following:

python(22768) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=14778368) failed (error code=3)
python(22768) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
python(22768) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

I have 2GB of memory in my machine, and physically I do not think that I should be running out of space.

I vaguely recall some discussion of a hard limit to python memory allocation on OS X due to some operating system idiosyncrasy. I thought that the problem had been addressed in python 2.0 but I could be wrong.

Before revamping my code to detect my probable screwup - I thought I would check this out.
Thanks for any enlightenment.
