More information on gnome executing problems

[rinckemd RoseVC Rose-Hulman Edu]

Ok I've been getting the  

** ERROR **: could not allocate 134217728 bytes
Abort

problem on execution of ALL things gnome.
I did a backtrace on the execution and this is what I fount:
#0  0x4033e4c1 in __kill () at soinit.c:27
#1  0x4033e31f in raise (sig=6) at ../sysdeps/posix/raise.c:27
#2  0x4033f36e in abort () at ../sysdeps/generic/abort.c:83
#3  0x400520bf in g_error (format=0x40058fa5 "could not allocate %ld
bytes") at gmessages.c:64
#4  0x4005178e in g_malloc (size=134217728) at gmem.c:125
#5  0x4008f91e in gnome_client_init () at gnome-client.c:314
#6  0x400a2348 in gnome_init (app_id=0x808a260 "panel",
app_args=0x809e5f4, argc=2, argv=0xbffffa3c, flags=0, arg_index=0x0) at
gnome-init.c:246
#7  0x80525a7 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffffa3c) at main.c:1911

I'm still having problems figuring out exactly what the problem is:
I'm running slack 3.5 with pgcc 1.0.3a and glibc-2.0.6.
Can anyone tell from this where the problem is or what I can do get 
more information about it?
