read errors mapping <filename>: Cannot allocate memory (12)

I use rsync to copy files from various Windows servers to a backup server running linux (OpenSUSE 11.2, filesystem ext3). The files that are to be copied reside in CIFS shares which are mounted on the backup server.
This is the command I run:
rsync -rltv --out-format=./%n%L
--delete --exclude-from=excludes.txt
--link-dest=/backup/local/20100110/server1/backup$
'/backup/server1/backup$/'
'/backup/local/20100111/server1/backup$'
When copying a rather large file (34 GB) I get the following error:
rsync: read errors mapping "<filename>": Cannot allocate memory (12)
WARNING: <filename> failed verification -- update discarded (will try again).
rsync: read errors mapping "<filename>": Cannot allocate memory (12)
ERROR: <filename> failed verification -- update discarded.
It is the only file I have problems with.
I upgraded from rsync 2.6.4 to 3.0.6 and increased the memory on the machine from 1 GB to 1.5 GB, but the problem remains.
