Instruments hangs and fills up /var/log/system.log when saving trace document

So I launched my app under Xcode with the Instruments Object Allocations template. My app finished, and I poked around in Instruments for a while, and everything seemed OK. Then I tried to save the trace document. Many minutes later, as Instruments remained unresponsive and my fans were getting noisy, I found that Instruments was in what seemed to be in an infinite loop logging:

Mar 21 10:15:10 Macintosh [0x0-0x148148].com.apple.Instruments[10418]: *** error: can't allocate region
Mar 21 10:15:10 Macintosh [0x0-0x148148].com.apple.Instruments[10418]: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Mar 21 10:15:10 Macintosh [0x0-0x148148].com.apple.Instruments[10418]: Instruments(10418,0xa0321fa0) malloc: *** mmap(size=432840704) failed (error code=12)


repeatedly (logged it about 1.25 million times before I force quit).

Anyone else run into this? Known problem? I'm using a MB Pro with 4G RAM.
