With a 2.9G file, you are probably running into the 3G userspace memory 
limit of the Linux kernel's default 3G/1G kernel/userland memory split. 
Unfortunately, you can only change that by recompiling the kernel, but 
3.5G/0.5G is the most you can get, but I would not recommend that, as it 
could be too less for the kernel and you will run into the same problem 
soon. So I guess you have two options:
- split your data file and run 2 or more tinydns processes
- switch over to a 64 bit system
