It is certainly a resource issue. Either due to a leak or using too much of something. Since you are using Linux you mean be able to use the 'memusage' facility to help understand memory usage: LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libmemusage.so yourprog And for detailed analysis, use valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full yourprog to check for leaks, and use valgrind --tool=massif yourprog to find areas of excess consumption.
