Increase memory available to the JVM used by fop:
export FOP_OPTS=-Xmx512m

As documented in otp/INSTALL.md:
---8<---
We have sometimes experienced problems with Sun's `java` running out of
memory when running `fop`. Increasing the amount of memory available
as follows has in our case solved the problem.

    $ export FOP_OPTS="-Xmx<Installed amount of RAM in MB>m"
