Its not a huge push Im trying to do here (<about 150Mb) but
always malloc fails!

Any huge objects?

There were a couple of big files. I removed a 72Mb one (making 47Mb
the biggest one left in the project) and made the push and it
worked. I later pulled the project down to a different machine,
added the 72Mb file back in, and pushed to the server and it worked.
So apparently it's a platform specific problem. If anybody's
particularly interested I could replicate it under gdb and pass on
any info, but if not I wont ... job's done, Im happy.

72Mb is nothing. Is it Windows/cygwin, by any chance? (I see the
problem there sometimes. Tried debugging it, got into some ugly
cygwin-windows interactions, threw up, did the same you did and tried
to forget it all).

Thats what I thought, but malloc continued to fail until the 72Mb file
was removed.

No, my server is running Debian. I had the push problem when logged in
on that. It worked when I
pushed it from a Gentoo box.

a problem with ulimit -m on the server?

Unlimited ...
