[lkb] memory allocation problems with erg

[Ann Copestake]

someone else may be able to explain exactly why virtual memory doesn't
help, but it never has with Allegro CL in my experience.  If you'd had
a 512MB machine, then I could have suggested ways to cut down the size
of the loaded ERG, but I don't think it's viable to cut it down to fit
into 256MB
