Sure, it's a trivial & tiny hack, see below. Note that you'll have
to set the memsize variable to something that will fit in available
memory. Expect to see some paging activity anyway, because it
over-allocates memory and shifts buffers around (to random offsets of
course;).
Please let me know about the results!
