Default growisofs: Cannot allocate memory

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I've just recently switched my desktop PC to OpenBSD 6.2 after many years of using Debian. I've tried to burn a 1.8GB .iso to DVD using the following command as a normal user:
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/rcd0c=file.iso

It works fine if I run it as root, but when run as a user the following error message appears:
:-(unable to allocate 56 bytes: Cannot allocate memory

The user has 'staff' login class and I added /dev/rcd0c to the ttyC0 line in fbtab, so the user has permission to use the device. I can burn CDs with cdrecord as the same user. I suspect I'm running into a memory resource limit, but haven't been able to find where that limit is set (I've looked in login.conf). I tried adding the user to 'staff' group, but it made no difference. Is it possible to raise whatever limit is preventing this from working?
