Probably resource limits again. mirror can get quite large in memory.

If you're runing pre-current (or even -current) you can use the
shell's limit (csh/tcsh) or ulimit (sh/bash) command to raise the
memory limits to something more reasonable. If you're running
-current, then you have other options by using limits(1) or
configuring login.conf to set a more reasonable hard or soft
limit.
