These numbers are, of course, bogus. Part of the problem is that the
new storage manager doesn't know how large a chunk the program was
trying to allocate when it failed. This will be fixed at some point.
And to get around the bootstrapping problem, try
gmake EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-dcore-lint
(the -dcore-lint option alleviates a space leak in the compiler.
Sigh). Or this, to increase the heap size:
gmake EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-optCrts-M128m

Weird. I'll look into it as soon as I'm properly back online (a week
or so).
Cheers,
