Looks like you're running out of memory for pending AFTER trigger
events. What triggers or foreign keys have you got on that table?
The usual recommendation for bulk loading into a table with a foreign
key is to drop the FK constraint, bulk load, re-create the FK
constraint. This will be significantly faster than allowing the FK
to be checked incrementally. Yeah, it'd be nice if that were
automated for you ...
