Cannot allocate memory

I'm running sabnzbd on Drobo FS which is a small NAS with small embedded memory which means I have no way to add. Now I have such an error message
Code: Select all
2012-03-29 11:00:31,603 ERROR: Error [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory while running par2_repair on set NCIS.S09E17.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264
Does sabnzbd have an option to limit the memory usage, or can someone suggest a set of parameters fitting embedded systems? Thank you very much.

How much memory do you have?

FWIW: I run SABnzbd on a headless system with 256 MB RAM like this:
Code: Select all
Mem: 243268k total, 239076k used, 4192k free, 31824k buffers
Swap: 524284k total, 57972k used, 466312k free, 106484k cached
In the meantime, check out

EDIT:
PS: as a test, I turned off swap, and that works too (tested with a 1 GB download)
Code: Select all
Mem: 243268k total, 215020k used, 28248k free, 22916k buffers
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 36076k cached

I followed the tips by shypike, it does look better but still consuming a lot of mem.
Code: Select all

Wondering whether sabnzbd will have a special configuration for embedded systems in future releases ... comparing NZBGet that "seems to use up about 15MB of memory per connection, so about 60MB with 4 connections"
