How to get rid of those?

I've tried http://www.zhlt.info/common-mapping-problems.html , and didn't understand nothing because of my bad english :X

it`s very easy 1st you must have batch compiler when you set the options go to HL and you will see the name HEap Size and Particles set them on 100000 200000 or more if you want if you have some problems msg me :)

Compile with VIS too!

It means that you used too many small scalings of your textures. If you scale a texture down, for example to a size of 0.5, it will create more patches than a texture scaled to 2.0.

This can happen when you have small brushes and fit a texture to it with your texture application tool (never do that btw).
Also it can happen, like explained in the link you posted, when you drag a huge box around your map to avoid leaks.
Try to check the scalings of your textures and be carefull with smaller scalings in the future to avoid that error ;)
