This is strange.  On my UNIX pc, I'm running a pathalias every night, after
it runs uuhosts -unbatch (which unbatches new posted maps safely).  I'm
running 3.51 (actually a variant thereof) and pathalias'ing all the 
d.*, u.*, and my local map.* files.  This is the output I get, which
incidently has been working fine here for decades (well 2 years actually):

rehash into 2039
rehash into 3067
rehash into 5113
rehash into 8179
rehash into 13309
rehash into 21499
rehash into 34807
16997 vertices, 39445 edges
allocation is 1408k after parsing

You can't get there from here:
	ideia
	.labein.es
	obelix
	eupa.upv.es
	labein.es
	.nsi.es
	nsi
allocation is 1480k after mapping
allocation is 1480k after printing
memory allocator wasted 1980 bytes

This is only 1480k, not 2460k?  What are you trying to pathalias?
Granted I have 3.5MB in my machine ... that might have something to do
with it ;-)   I thought the only limit on this virtual memory machine was
the size of the swap space, after you allocated too much, it would fill
the swap space up and then die (this has happened to me).  I've also
gotten "Killed" when trying to start compresses when my system is utilizing
lots of memory.
