Is /tmp on tmpfs?  That would mean, that copying files in there could
make you run out of memory.

It don't think it's a fuse/sshfs problem, because there have not been
any other reports of massive memory leaks in these.  So I suspect it's
something else that's causing the memory to run out, and so make sshfs
crash because of that.
