What OS are you using, if I may be so bold as to ask?  What is the exact
complaint?

Maybe that this is analogous to the problem of running CMUCL on Linux
(which, by the way, I personally ran into) - you've got to tell the
kernel that "hey, it's OK to 'overcommit' memory."  I think you have to
do something heinous like echo a "1" into some /proc pseudo-file (geez,
am I the only guy around here that feels he needs to take a shower when
he does something like that?  Don't even get me started about trying to
put a 160GB disk on my Linux box ... ugh).

Bless you.  I shall go and try and scam, er, download them.  Thanks for
the help!
