I just had a similiar problem with about three million DEFINE statements
from rewriting field-edit. The problem is that you need to specify
-LARGE module. That should give you more heap space. The manual says something
to the effect that the system is running out of dynamic memory.

If things get real bad, you can specify "huge" module with the flag
-Mh. 

Hope this helps
