My guess is you're running out of memory or hitting some memory
allocation limit because datasource.readlines() tries to fetch all the
data from the datasource and store it in memory near line 37.
34 #Read each line of the data source and insert the fields and tab delimiters
35 #into the outfile.
36
37 for recordn in datasource.readlines():
...
146 datasource.close()
147 newfile.close()
You're probably hitting the user limits imposed by FreeBSD on you,
even though the system still has free memory. Try rewriting this loop
to read one line at a time, and see if it solves the problem.
