It is certainly a resource issue.  Either due to a leak or using too 
much of something.  Since you are using Linux you mean be able to use 
the 'memusage' facility to help understand memory usage:

   LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libmemusage.so yourprog

And for detailed analysis, use

   valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full yourprog

to check for leaks, and use

   valgrind --tool=massif yourprog

to find areas of excess consumption.
