libauto: what's "agc error: Can not allocate new region"

Hi all,

I'm stress testing a 64 bit GC app with AUTO_USE_GUARDS and left it
running overnight.  This morning it's crashed here:

#0	0x7fff879390da in objc_exception_throw
#1	0x7fff83c4a18e in _NSOutOfMemoryErrorHandler
#2	0x7fff835046f9 in __CFStringHandleOutOfMemory
#3	0x7fff834231c4 in __CFStringChangeSizeMultiple
#4	0x7fff834305f5 in __CFStringAppendBytes
...

With the following messages in console:

malloc: *** auto malloc[53727]: agc error: Can not allocate new region

How does a 64 bit app fail to allocate memory?  For my process, Activity
Monitor shows "real" at 2.2 GB and "Virtual" at 200 MB.  My physical
memory is not even exhausted.

Googling the message yields next to nothing.

Thanks,

--
