Probably the number of elements (lineto's, curveto's, etc.) is getting too
large.  Try breaking up the path into smaller pieces.  This is easy if the
path is just being stroked.  If it's being filled, you have to do it cleverly
so that the resulting filled areas equal the area that would be been filled by
the original path.
