Comment(by dustymugs):

 I don't know what I can say about this one.  The memory alloc error is
 from GDAL being unable to allocate a little more than 1GB of memory.  I'll
 have to see what the dimensions are on the raster being created.

 The rasterization code under-the-hood makes use of the GDAL MEM driver and
 runs purely in memory.  It's possible to have the code use some temp space
 on the hard drive but that itself has other problems.
