you run out of main memory with pstricks-add. All postscript code is 
written out with \special macros, and its overall size is limited by the 
main memory. The problem is, that pstricks-add redefines some parts of 
\psbezier (which is used a lot in psvectorian) to make use of 
ArrowInside, but that also blows up the code a lot.

You can either increase the main memory size, or reset parts of the 
\psbezier redefinition. The required main memory is still larger than 
without pstricks-add, but much less:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage[leqno]{amsmath}
\usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{psvectorian}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

% reset definition of OpenBezier, you can also do that only for parts
