Varnish is not resistant against running out of malloc space and far
too many places still have asserts instead of proper handling of this.
This obviously needs to be fixed over time.

But I still quite can't make sense out of this, because I conclude
that you are running on a 64 bit system and so you shouldn't really
run out of memory this early.

Can I get you to double check the per process limits limits(1)/ulimit(1)
are on your machine?
