RTFM : inn-1.4-unoff4 docs :

-----
BSDI also has a default data size limit of 16MB.  Adding
"unlimit datasize" in the beginning of your rc.news file should
correct the problem.  (Symptoms are INN not being able to malloc
or realloc enough memory)  adding "limit openfiles 256" also
may be necessary.

The kernel limit of 64MB max data size may also not be enough.
Specify "options MAXDSIZ=134217728" (128MB) in your kernel config and
rebuild.
