Error on CVS commit: cvs [commit aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 441235120 bytes

 I am trying to commit a file but am receiving errors as follows:
cvs [commit aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 441235120 bytes
I have a feeling the file must be too large in the cvs repository. the size=
 is below:=C2=A0=20
11269769 1025804 -r--r--r--=C2=A0=C2=A0 1 cvs=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=
 cvs=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 1049389801 Aug 23 19:29 /repository/cvsr=
oot/udn/netForensics/buildinputs/vms/SunJRELinux-x64.vm,v

I would like the history, but more importantly I need to commit the file wi=
th this name.=C2=A0=C2=A0 What can I do?If I have to lose the history I wil=
l but how can I make this work?
I know it is old as well but cvs is running on a 32 bit linx OS,=C2=A0 "Red=
 Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)".
