I chatted about this with Chris Tanner, Mr. Builder. The
problem is that the allocation size in the builder increases
by 2X each time it overflows the existing allocation. This is
too aggressive for very large databases.

The best thing to do is to change line 1716 in geobuilder.c

        chunkSize <<= 1;

to:
        /* limit to 8K tris/chunk */
        if (chunkSize < 8192)
                chunkSize <<= 1;

This is the fix that's in 2.0.
