I hit that warning as well, IOS is 12.2(53)SE,
and the routing table is not huge. If you ever
find a clue, let me know...

ME3400#sh ip route summary
IP routing table name is Default-IP-Routing-Table(0)
IP routing table maximum-paths is 32
Route Source    Networks    Subnets     Overhead    Memory (bytes)
connected       1           3           256         608
static          0           2           192         304
internal        3                                   3516
