Why is redis shutting down?

No sooner I make a query to my redis server it closes throwing an error:

zmalloc: Out of memory trying to allocate 41 bytes

About my machine:

Tasks:  18 total,   1 running,  17 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu0  :  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Cpu1  :  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

Are you trying to build a bit 32-bit binary. It can address no more than 2GB of memory. You can try building a 64-bit binary of Redis yourself and try again if it solves the issue for you.Try to check the ulimit settings for your machine and increase the same.
