[cod] Getting out of memory for certain maps

Try running the server (temporarily) as root and load the map.  If it
works, it's most likely a ulimit restriction.

Adjustment can be made to non-root user environments in /etc/profile &
/etc/bashrc

"ulimit -a" will show current settings, run as root and a user and
you'll see the difference.  Increase the user limitation and try your
map again.
