Lisa,
Your script definitely has a problem with memory. My first guess is
that it has an array to which elements are being added in a loop, which
eventually becomes so large that its memory requirements exceed that of
your computer. Either that, or you're trying to read in large
multidimensional arrays from hundreds of files at once. Or you could
potentially have a memory leak somewhere in your script, which can
sometimes be caused by not deleting variables when they're no longer
necessary. One of those possibilities has typically been the cause of
similar situations that I've experienced in the past.
