Have you tried removing the iTunes preference file?
com.apple.iTunes.plist

Try logging in as a different user to see if the problem exists there.

I had the same exact frustrating memory problem with iTunes6.0.1. I finally got it to work by re-installing iTunes after downloading it from versiontracker.

I had this issue with iTunes 7.0.1 after upgrading/restarting UNO (unified look application).

The solution is indeed to reinstall iTunes. You can download the .dmg file from the official site or from versionTracker for example.

However there is one issue: the installer won't let you install anything because iTunes 7.0.1 is already installed; all options are dimmed in the installer, and even removing iTunes stuff won't solve this.
And the same goes if you try the installer from an older version.

I found the solution on Apple's kb: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301356

Basically you need to remove all iTunes*.pkg files in /Library/Receipts and then the installer will allow you to reinstall iTunes.

Hope this helps.

I have the same problem....

Running the itunes binary file into terminal, arrows this:

$ /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes; exit
iTunes(394,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=4294942720) failed (error code=3)
iTunes(394,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
iTunes(394,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

A bug maybe?....
