Seems you use poly2bitmap, which converts the background of the file to a
bitmap. You also use a huge multiply value (180, the "/75" is ignored),
so it creates a bitmap of this size:

111600x157680!
You need 64 Terabytes of main memory to store a bitmap this size.
(I'm told there is a supercomputer in New Mexico which could actually
 do this :))

Change the "-s multiply=180/75" to "-s multiply 2" or "-s multiply 3" 
(only integers allowed here) and the conversion works.
