Hi,

you're running a huge scan from the GUI, that needs to hold everything
in memory. Looks like you just went out of RAM...

Try running nmap from command line and output results to a file (see
-oX). Actually, for such a large network I'd advise you to split your
scan into several ones so that your results are stored in numerous
decently-sized files and not in a single multiple-GB one.

Regards
