First of all you should make sure that your box is really running out of memory.
Did you try and run "top" while transforming your document? This should give a
clue whether RefDB really hits the ceiling.

If not, one of the publications that you added since the builds were still
working may cause problems. Could you create a test document with those
references that you added lately? Maybe it is a RefDB bug (or unexpected
reference data or style data or whatever) rather than missing memory.

If you're really running out of memory, I'd have to rethink the code that
creates the bibliography in order to send the data as chunks.

regards,
Markus
