My quota is 6144 and about 1GB of it is being used at the moment. It's
probably also due to the fact, that I set my INDIRECTIONTABLESIZE to
130672. Is that too much? BTW, why did this option (and the explanation
for it) vanish from contrib/gnunet.conf? And why is it still in
contrib/gnunet.conf.root? The option is still used in the source AFAICT,
or is it now obsolete?

Well, memory is cheap these days ;-). I updated GNUnet and see if I can
"reproduce" the error again. I'd say it was quite some improbable event,
as it happened until now just once during the nearly continuous
operation of gnunetd on my machine for many weeks...
