 The game logic has tried to load a resource, and but the interpreter has run out of allocated memory.  This is an error actually caused by your game, the interpreter couldn't cause it unless it was something you did in your logic code.  If you're running a long sequence, and you're unable to call new.room, then perhaps you should try discarding resources as soon as you're done with then.  If you're still running out of room, try bundling view resources together and try and get some to mirror others.  Converted sounds take up a lot of room, so you might want to crop it.  Later games by Sierra actually checked the amount of available memory before it tried something memory intensive (like read a bible with lots of scripts), that way the player could still walk around without it crashing.
