I use to have this problem too, and after a while determined how to fix it.
I actually leave the mem settings alone and simply do the following:

1. Max disk cache size 15000 mb
2. Secret purge every 1 frame
3. Set Window’s Virtual Memory to 8000 initial and max

I can now do extremely huge files really really fast with no crashes or image buffer errors.

Mac OS X does not use a preallocated swap partition for virtual memory. Instead, it uses all of the available space on the machine’s boot partition. So,

1. is your boot hard drive full?
2. are you running 30 widgets?
3. edit – purge all before rendering plus secret purge every 1 frame and disk cache 15000 mb tweak
