This is the default error message that is printed in response to any
error -nnmatch- is encountering, not only those that are related to
memory issues. A misleading error message is a terrible practice; the
users would've been better off with the original un-capture-d
messages. -set trace on- and look for what this command is missing;
may be it needs a certain variable or a parameter that you did not
specify.
