James,

This error means that your computer does not have enough memory to 
continue. Zenmap can be a memory hog at times. You can try a few 
different things that may help:

1. Do your scan from a machine with more RAM.
2. In your zenmap.conf (on Linux: ~/.zenmap/zenmap.conf), in the 
[output_highlight] section, set enable_highlight = False
3. Do your scan with the Nmap command-line tool, then load the output 
into Zenmap. This will avoid a memory crash during scanning, but you may 
still have trouble viewing the output later.
4. Do smaller scans and view them separately.
5. If you have Python programming skills, audit Zenmap's memory usage 
and submit a patch to reduce its memory footprint.

Good luck!

Dan
