It's in my version of gdal-bin but not in  the plugin which I expect
to be the latest experimental version available. I will investigate
this.

According to python docs[1] MemoryError should be raised only if the
process runs out of memory.

The plugin is really memory hungry. I was taking a look at the code
some time ago and it creates many temporary arrays. The author also
raised his concerns about memory usage in a private email exchange but
I was interested in the 128 bits output and not worried about memory
issues.
