RE: memory allocation problem

If you are using XP like I am you may need to build an image that has
more space set aside. Here is how I built one for ACL 6.2 that has lots
of room in both the lisp heap and the C heap.

(excl:build-lisp-image "c:/software/acl62/mylisp.dxl" :lisp-heap-start
#x14000000 :c-heap-start #x31000000 :lisp-heap-size 480000000
:c-heap-size 500000000)
