The most important thing here is the source of your DICOM files. What
sort of scanner do you have? Maybe the manufacturers include some field
in the headers that requires a lot of memory to hold. It's true that
the converter is a bit memory hungry (because it creates structures
containing all the fields in the headers), and it could be re-written so
that less memory is required. Creating an elegant solution is another
of those things on the to-do list.
If the SPM DICOM import is not working so well, then you could try using
e.g. http://idoimaging.com/cgi-bin/imaging/program.pl?ident=283

Dear list,
When importing DICOM files, after reading approx 200 dicom files, I get
this error in both SPM2 and SPM5
Running "DICOM Import"
Changing directory to: /home/rik88/data/fMRI/<subject directory>

Configuration:
Matlab R14SP3, linux suse 10.1, x86_64, kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13, single
processor 1GB RAM, 2GB swap
This error does not occur on any of the other systems inclusive a
portable with dual core processor (x86) and the same distro and kernel,
nor on a x86_64 dual processor with Ubuntu (kernel 2.6.8-11)
Any help welcome, thanks,
