this is similar to what I am getting here when trying to render a few
images. They are relatively small and it works quite well at the
beginning, although somewhat slow. After a inserting a few new objects
it will crash on "Cannot allocate memory".

My next step was to build gimp using the lesstif library version 0.75
which wasn't succesful. It compiled but caused segmentation faults.
I haven't tried again with the more current version of lesstif
though....

This was using the FreeBSD-2.1 port...
