Thanks to:

who provided me with the solution
The problem is that the programm wants to much memory. To increase the
available memory for the program (process) you have to raise the value
of the kernel variable
dfldsiz
in the config file and to build a new kernel. The other way is to
use the ulimt (bash ; ulimit -d) or limit (csh; limit datasize) command
to raise that value on a running system.
