SYMPTOMS
========
 
The mental ray rendering task fails before completely rendering the first
frame. The error message "No memory for triangle" appears.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The model contains an object with a hole that is offset; translated away
from the XY plane. Faces with holes that are offset "may" produce this
error message.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Correct the offset of the hole by translating the hole until it is parallel
with the XY plane of the Face. You can also convert the object to a Polygon
(Effect -> Convert). Then, render an mi file of your scene.
 
STATUS
======
 
At this time, this behavior is by design.
