Having a closer look revealed that this is indeed what the error message
told: a memory allocation failure.

[...]
  4605 genrb    CALL  break(0x101a6000)
  4605 genrb    RET   break 0
  4605 genrb    CALL  break(0x101a7000)
  4605 genrb    RET   break -1 errno 12 Cannot allocate memory
  4605 genrb    CALL  break(0x101a6000)
  4605 genrb    RET   break 0
[...]

It seem that I'm hitting this systems hard limit (256 MB). Any chance
to tell genrb to be less greedy?
