[issue881] out of memory error during "hg convert"

[Peter Amstutz]

New submission from Peter Amstutz <tetron at interreality.org>:

While doing "hg convert" of a large svn repository (5500 commits, several
gigabytes of data, a number of large binary files of 10 to 50 megabytes or more)
I get this error after processing 5100 revisions (only 300 left to go!)

I am using Hg 0.9.5 on Fedora 7:

** unknown exception encountered, details follow
** report bug details to http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts
** or mercurial at selenic.com
** Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 0.9.5)
