When I was loading a database of biological sequences into memory, I got 
the following error message:

------------ BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ------------------------------

*A1 gc_alloc_large failed, nbytes=50518704.
 CMUCL has run out of dynamic heap space (512 MB).
  You can control heap size with the -dynamic-space-size commandline 
option.

Imminent dynamic space overflow has occurred:  Only a small amount of 
dynamic
space is available now. Please note that you will be returned to the 
Top-Level
without warning if you run out of space while debugging.

Heap (dynamic space) overflow
   [Condition of type KERNEL:HEAP-OVERFLOW]

Restarts:
  0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.

Debug  (type H for help)

Source: Error finding source: 
Error in function DEBUG::GET-FILE-TOP-LEVEL-FORM:  Source file no longer 
exists:
  target:code/interr.lisp.
0]

-------------- END ERROR MESSAGE ------------------------------

I followd the advice from the error message, and increased the dynamic 
space size to 1GB (101037408 Bytes). Still it crashes when it exeeds 
512MB. Is this a hardcoded limit to CMUCL. Im using 19a.
