RC2 has a memory indicator in the status bar just to the right of the
messages. Did you happen to notice what that was showing during the render
(especially towards the end?).

I probably ought to add code to print the memory stats even if a render
fails; currently, they're only printed if it succeeds. In cases like this
it would definitely have been worth having this info as I can't say without
knowing how much of your machine's physical resources it was using.
