Problems with big (?) dictionary

I'm trying to load a module which contains a dictionary with
3600 keys. Under Python 1.0.0 I get an error:

shift: no mem in addchild
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1
MemoryError

If I reduce the dictionary to around 1800 entries it loads ok.

I also tried loading my dictionary under Python 0.9.8. The 1800
entry version was MINUTES faster loading, but I get the same error
with the 3600 entries.

Any ideas what's wrong?
