Got the following error: unable to realloc 131989419 bytes

Bonjour Tim,

I tried to install the DBD-Oracle package today and I got the
following error:

C:\TEMP\DBD-Oracle-1.16>ppm
unable to realloc 131989419 bytes

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.



My PC has 1.5 GB of RAM and 12 GB of free HD space, 2.4 GHz Intel
Core 2 Duo chips, running Windows XP
I believe I should be in business to get that running.



Oracle info:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Aug 15 13:33:19 2007

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit
Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options




It installed something because when I go back to ppm after it
crashed, I look at the Details of the DBD-Oracle (active) package I
have:
