Database.pgn was about 500 Mb
I gave Crafty the command :
book create database.pgn 60
And a few hours later book.bin (800 Mb) was built. So it is built _already_.

You mean it rebuilds itself in virtual memory ?
Or does it just need 4 gigabytes to run well ?

Maybe it's better to keep bookc.bin instead of book.bin since I'll use it mainly
against other engines ?
