Error in "Virtual Memory Allocation"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.I follow the steps, including switch the git version to e77c16bd5a65.
2.When I am running > make -j 4, it stops at Mesh_3, and report the error: 
cannot allocate memory.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the successful compiling. But My compiling stops at 
Mesh_3

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CGAL version: 3.9
SWIG version: 2.0.4
cmake version: 2.8.7
Java version: 1.6.0-30
Ubuntu version: 12.04

Please provide any additional information below.

Looks like you're running out of memory. How much memory do you have? Did you 
try without the parallel build?

I guess it was not the memory problem. Because my memory is 4GB, but the 
compiling procedure used less than 2G, and then it stopped.

Finally I removed the Mesh_3 from compiling, and then it's ok. 

Maybe there are any problems in Mesh_3?

Sorry, I don't know how to build parallel...

What is the output of ulimit -a?

The output is below. At beginning, I thought it may be the virtual memory 
problem. So I had already set virtual memory to unlimited. But it doesn't work.
