How are you requesting more memory? I ran into the same problem when I was
setting up sigma depths in LAS.  Originally I got:

 **ERROR: insufficient memory: 10821600 words were requested.

so I put :

  set MEMORY/SIZE=20.0

just before the ZAXREPLACE line and it works fine.  What happens if you
did:

  set MEMORY/SIZE=100.0

Good luck,
