wrstscrnnm6, 
I was getting an error "failed to allocate XXXXXX b"
I copy the number into wolfram alpha to see how much data that really is.
5.3 Zettabytes.
How the hell is this program trying to allocate the equivalent of ... all of the data sent over the internet in a year, five times over?
Somewhere between my terminal and the browser the string of numbers got doubled.
Never have I been so relieved to find out my program was only trying to allocate 53Gb of ram.
