Please do not cross-post to multiple lists like this. (Also, adding
addresses of individual hackers is not good netiquette). The -hackers
list is quite inappropriate for usage questions.

It looks like the problem you have is that the client is running out of
memory, so changing the server's memory settings seems unlikely to have
any beneficial effect. Maybe you need to look at your ulimit settings.
