I am trying to sign the Public Key using the command
gpg --edit-key <email id>, it gives the following error message
gpg: checking the trustdb

Out of memory means that there is not enough main memory (RAM)
available. Given that GnupG's memory foot print is not that high -
unless you are trying to process huge keyrings - there is either a problem with your build of GnuPG or you have artifically limited the ammount of virtual memory available for this session. Use "ulimit -a" to show the current settings.

We also discovered a problem on P690 boxes, so if everything else
fails I can send you a patch.

Is this still a problem with 1.2.5 or 1.3.90 ?

No more reposnes - so we assume the fix we developed in 2003
works.
