How many processors are you using? Plzip needs about (2 * data-size * N
) bytes of memory when decompressing, where N is the number of processors.
You can use the option -n to limit the number of processors used.
Also I can't use lzip to decompress them since I only have version 1.1
and it looks like I need 1.4 which is not on the ftp server
You need lzip-1.4 or newer. Lzip-1.11 is fine:
