We do report out of memory errors but there are many places where things
can go wrong, some of them are inside other libraries and are outside of
our control. We would need to see your backtrace to identify and fix
your specific case.
2GB of ram is insufficient to process a modern planet dump without using
the --slim mode. I think the the maximum bz2 file you can import without
using the slim mode would be around 100MB (approx UK planet dump size).
