Seems pretty obvious that the problem isn't free memory but rather some 
bug in the interaction between backuppc_dump and libz.  When it dies, 
there is a core file left behind; I would research analyzing core files 
for your particular operating system so you can see what the stack trace 
shows (ie. what part of backuppc_dump you were in to cause it).
