Who also add additional tips to deal with the problematic:

***
"(...) Some versions of BibTEX have been patched to allow for the memory 
limits to be changed via the contents of a “bibtexmemory.config” file 
(without having to recompile), but, unfortunately, such systems don’t seem
to be very common.

There is also a version of BibTEX with a much larger capacity. “8-bit” 
BibTEX was written by Niel Kempson and Alejandro Aguilar-Sierra [20]. On 
many systems with 8-bit BibTEX (MiKTEX), the executable is called
bibtex8.7"

Maybe you can Google for these two options :-?

There is also a program named "biber" aimed to solve that memory 
limitations, maybe you can give it a wirl:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/

And while searching for this program, I've found a "request for package" 
bug report in Debian BTS:
