"Cannot spawn crash dumper thread" error

Using the latest Clamwin 0.92 (or even 0.91.2), I encountered this error when loading multiple signature files (500 files @33MB)

Cannot spawn crash dumper thread
Cannot spawn crash dumper thread
Cannot spawn crash dumper thread
Cannot spawn crash dumper thread

However, when using the previous build 0.88.7, it loads up just fine.
Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks

very weird about spawning the crashdumper thread, perhaps this pointed me that I need to add an error code to see what is happened
multiple calls means that it "crashes while crashing" this is funny but not good
I think it's a memory-related problem I'll try to reproduce

I made some test and I found an "error path" not correctly handled, now it's fixed on svn
perhaps the only difference would be abort instead of crashing
I suspect you're trying to load too much stuff for your available memory

the way for loading signatures is changed a bit since .88 but I cannot tell more about this, I maintain the port so I known a lot of clamav sources, but the internal stuff of the matcher are really not so easy to follow
