Looking at the source, the message is generated if TIFFSetupStrips(tif) fails. This in turn fails if _TIFFmalloc() fails. So it sounds like you are running out of memory. I would try watching your program with "top" as it runs and see how large the RSIZE column gets.
It is certainly a resource issue. Either due to a leak or using too much of something. Since you are using Linux you mean be able to use the 'memusage' facility to help understand memory usage:
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libmemusage.so yourprog
And for detailed analysis, use
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full yourprog
to check for leaks, and use
valgrind --tool=massif yourprog
to find areas of excess consumption.
