Problem for allocating space

Hi, X-PLOR users

I am trying to do a bulk solvent correction to a fairly big protein (total 
2200 residues in an assymetric unit) and with 160,000 reflections. However
the program (xplor 3.851) crashed with following message

 XREFINE>   do (fpart=ft(mask)) ( all ) 
 XMAPAL: allocating space for real space object.
 Total of   2880000 map elements were selected.
 %VEHEAP-ERR: could not satisfy storage request for     2916002 bytes
 Subroutine DIE called . Terminating

How should I cope this? 

thanks in advance for any hints

p.s: my input file
 remarks  file xtalrefine/setup_bulksol.inp 
 remarks
 remarks  Generates a "flat" bulk solvent model
 remarks 
 remarks  Computes solvent mask, do an FFT, optimize k and B, stores in FPART
 remarks  and writes new reflection file. 
 remarks
 remarks 
 remarks   - run this job
 remarks   - check that the solvent parameters are reasonable (solvent density 
 remarks     and B-value) and that there is a significant drop in R value 
 remarks     especially at low resolution.   If unsatisfactory, try
 remarks     fixing either the solvent B-factor or solvent density level. 
 remarks   - use setup_bulksol.cv reflection file in all subsequent jobs
 remarks   - use lower resolution bound in all subsequent jobs
