The 'srsupdate' is only a script with several calls from the
executable 'srsbuild'.
I got the same error while compressing the previously build index
which is issued later in the 'srsupdate'-script.
Make the following steps ( one of this will solve the problem )
1. Check the memory-utilization, perhaps you have to increase the
swapsize ( unfortunately the perfomance will decrease dramatically
while swaping )
2. If there is enough virtual memory check your user-limits ( ulimit
-a ). Set the values to ulimited if possible or to the highest
possible value.
Point 2 solved the problem I had with srsupdate on a DEC-Station with
512MB RAM and 1GB Swapsize ( indexed file : 350MB, 250000 records ).
