apt-get error

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

hi,

can someone parse this error for me?  Got it while trying apt-get update:


Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing kernel-image-2.4.18-hotplugforalsa
(NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

 kernel-image-2.4.18-hotplugforalsa is a kernel I compiled myself
 using the debian method.  

Thanks!!!
