Memory exhaustion with cp


Hello,


in trying to recursively copy a directory, /bin/cp fails with memory exhaustion:

$ mkdir src
$ mkdir dest
$ cp -r src dest
cp: memory exhausted

I am using cp(fileutils) 4.1, downloaded this morning.
Does anybody have seen similar and/or have a fix for it?
The "machine" it runs on is normally equipped with 96 MB, and raising it to 192
MB did not solve the problem.
