[rt-users] RT2 to RT3 Conversion Problem

I'm having a problem with the rt-2.0-to-dumpfile script attempting to
allocate too much memory, and crashing out.  It worked a week ago, but I
must have acquired just enough new users and other metadata now to make it
need more than 512MB of RAM:

time perl rt-2.0-to-dumpfile DUMP1
Out of memory during "large" request for 33558528 bytes, total sbrk() is
521551872 bytes at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i386-freebsd/Data/Dumper.pm
line 158.

real    6m1.820s
user    5m38.600s
sys     0m7.820s

Any suggestions on how to make it put less data into RAM?  It seems like
it shouldn't be a problem, since only 25MB or so is actually in the
metadata file when it completes (when it ran fully a week ago, that is).
Thanks.
