Yes, it't growing really fast ...

So this points to an consistent error.

With your 2GB this shouldn't happen. Last time I remember it should consume

I hope that a simple backtraced (bt) would help.

Start gdb with
	gdb --args osm2pgsql planetfile.bz2
run the programm with 
	r

One more question: Which architecture has you CPU? x86 or different?
