Trying to determine the kernel of a map between free ZZ-modules of finite rank, I get the following error

  File "/home/ubuntu/SageMath/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/modules/matrix_morphism.py", line 720, in kernel
    V = self.matrix().kernel()

You can use pari.allocatemem() to change the stack size and try again

How do I adjust the maximum PARI stack size from within Sage?

Edit: Strangely, whether this problem occurs does not only depend on the total memory used. In one case, the computation used up to 14 GB and ran just fine, in another case this error occured when only 8 GB had been used.

Your computation might be too heavy, but it is hard to say without a concrete example.

That said, you can try to enlarge the pari stack size:

You can get the current stack size as follows:

sage: pari.stacksize()

You can set a larger stacksize as follows:

sage: pari.allocatemem(10^9)

Would computing the kernel of an integer matrix of size about 2000x2000 be "heavy"?
