I tried a few things and didn't manage to reproduce this. It seems you
try to scan one file which is approx. 2.7 GiB in size and the error
message you quoted comes if you ran out of memory. Could you please
state the amount of memory you have. Is it possible to share that file
you try scan? If not can you give something else that shows that error?
