I get this error :

Out of memory as I tried to allocate 4198447 bytes

My machine has 32megs of ram in it..

What is causing this error message?

a) Does that process have a limit on it's datasize?  (See the manpage
        for limit(1) and/or getrlimit(2))

b) Perhaps you really are out of memory.  Is there anything else on
        the system sucking up a lot of memory?  You _are_ asking for
        an 1/8th of the machine's memory.

c) What does this have to do with procmail?
