if this happens only for large jobs, what the code says is the plain  
truth:
no more memory available. I don't think that postprocessing should use
more memory than the scf calculation, but the latter has been heavily
optimized for memory, the former much less so. It is impossible to say
more without looking at the specific case.

as I already told you: no e-mails ever received from you (I am repeating
this here because the q-e-developers mailing list has a public archive)
