Comment (by tangobravo):

 It might be neat to automatically enable/increase the size of your swap
 file (which should be filed as a new enhancement).

 However, you said in [comment:4 kvdman]:
 > I retried with 7za 9.13, 512mb of RAM, 32mb Swap.
 > I am just using a vmware image with limited disk space so couldn't up
 the swap.

 ...so I fail to see what you expect Haiku to do here. If you don't have
 enough free bytes in your RAM + disk there's no way around an "out of
 memory" error.
