The Cartesian product mentioned by Hugo is my first suspect, too. The query probably takes a large time before giving this error.
A Cartesian product - combining all records from table A with all records from table B, instead of only matching records - happens when you forget the condition to join the tables (JOIN or the old-fashioned WHERE).
