problems with dxf

[Ing. Alejandro Arcelus - IMFIA]

I don't have access to a list via news so I need a DIRECT RESPONSE to

 Dear Sirs:
 
 I have digitized all contour lines from 1:50000 escale maps in autocad. I
export the files as dxf and use the program v.in.dxf in order to convert
the file to GRASS vector format. Unfortunaly the program gives me the
following messages

 CONVERSION OF /imfia04/usr/aarce/dos/dwg/e22-247.dxf TO DIG FILE:

and so on... until it finishes with:

ERROR: G_realloc: out of memory

What can be the problem?

Doesn't supose to say convering ...% of dxf file or something similar?

The dxf file has 4MB. Is it too big? 

I tried with a smaller file  (360 KB) and the result was the same.

I tried, and the dxf file is able to be converted back completly to
autocad format (so I guess the file is not the problem).

Thanks, and regards
