Malloc Problems stopping expire

I am getting the following error on my news server when attempting to
run expire:

expire begin Fri Jul 7 04:16:50 AKDT 2000: (-v1)
    dbz.c:1296 Can't malloc 1196703096 bytes: Not enough space
expire end Fri Jul 7 04:16:51 AKDT 2000

>From what I've read it appears the problem is the data segment is too
low, but I can't increase it above the virtual memory size, and I can't
increase that limit even though I have plenty of swap.

ulimit -d
1048576
ulimit -v
1048576

I've seen the problem listed in the archives, but I didn't see a
solution. The box is a XP1000 with 512M of memory.

Any help is appreciated.
