RE: Shell script loop runs out of memory

["Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E]" <BBuchbinder at niaid dot nih dot gov>]

The following are just ideas - totally untested.

You might try changing
    [[ condition ]]
to
    [ condition ]
Perhaps single brackets use memory differently than double brackets.

If that doesn't work, try changing
    #!/bin/sh
(which calls bash) to
    #!/bin/dash
You will have to have retained the double to single bracket change,
because dash does not have double brackets.  Perhaps dash is more
efficient with memory than bash.
