Basically, your dos shell has run out of memory, so you need to increase it's default ....
From the below URL :

Modify the Environment for All MS-DOS Programs
To increase the default environment space for all MS-DOS programs running in Windows, edit the Shell command in the Config.sys file. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type sysedit, and then click OK.
Click the Config.sys window.
At the beginning of the Shell= line, type REM, and then press the SPACEBAR.

If the Shell= line does not exist, proceed to the next step.
Press the HOME key.
Type the following line to create a new Shell= line, and then press ENTER:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P

On the File menu, click Save.
On the File menu, click Exit.
Restart the computer.

thanks for your info.

but this can be easily done as follows:

ms-dos->properties->memory->4096 and restart. ok?

I've done this and Ant is working now.
