Hm, was the memory allocation connected somehow with the deaggregation
of the IPv4 prefixes you're receiving/holding?

How many IPv4 prefixes you do have in global and in VRFs? I doubt
it's connected with IPv6, at least without looking at the configuration.

If indeed IPv6 is not yet configured, but you decided to add it to
BGP config, are there any IPv6 prefixes you're receiving on the IPv4
transport session?
