[developers] LKB images on 32-bit FC6 machine

[Ann Copestake]

I'm hitting a problem when I try and construct an LKB image on FC6 with a 
32-bit machine.  Relevant bit of the error message is appended.  This doesn't 
happen when compiling the LKB normally - the machine in question only has 1 
Gig, but I can run the ERG.  I have tried with ACL_specific/image.lsp and also 
with a variant where I make the space and heap values identical to those in 
bclim.lisp (I am running the compiled system on a bclim image as usual).  I 
can successfully build images on other 32-bit machines but can't run these on 
the 32-bit FC6 machine - I get a memory error though no info about specific 
location.  64-bit FC6 seems OK.  Any ideas?
