Hi,

TeX doesn't report your free system memory but its built-in memory size.
Some implementations allow setting TeX's main memory, but that won't be
necessary.
In most cases such error messages are caused by a missing closing brace
or a much too long paragraph.

Check your parenthesis hierarchy!

M.
