Doing a search for "grpconv:Out Of Memory linux" gave me the following
links.
I first tried without specifying linux and the windows version came up
during the search.
http://www.google.com/search?q=grpconv%3A+Out+Of+Memory+in+linux&btnG=Search&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8
I know nothing about grpconv for Linux or Windows.
Good luck on figuring out this error.
I did get this "helpful hint" from searching through one of the googled
links.
The creation of /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow require the execution of a
program to encrypt passwords. Use the commands pwconv and grpconv to
synchronize the shadow files.
