It's a memory allocation failure.  When you say the list is 'average
sized', what does that mean?  What is the total size of the archive for
this list, and what is the single largest archive file for it?

In nearly all cases, a HeapAlloc failure is an actual memory or user quota
issue, but I've seen one case where it was caused by messages with corrupt
base64 data.  If that's the case, you would see MIME parser errors in the
LISTSERV log immediately prior to the crash.
