DFTB+ keeps the eigenvectors for all k-points in the memory, so that its 
memory consumption goes up linearly with the nr. of k-points. I'd 
suggest to make separate calculations for small pieces of the k-lines. 
Alternetively, you may use a parallel calculation with groups, where you 
distribute the memory need over several nodes.

Best regards,
