GNU MP error - Cannot allocate memory

[manoj soni]

Thanks you so much. I have earlier faced memory leak and debugged it
successfully and now I can assure it is not memory leak because I am
observing "top" in linux and I see that memory allocated to this program is
not continuously increasing to 100%. I will debug more deeply my program to
check to remove any potential memory leak.
As you suggested, If I've run out of virtual memory, how can I configure
more ?

Thanks,
Manoj Soni
