| Do you have 524Mb of *real* memory in the machine?  How much memory is

  Well, it is actually fairly hard to make Allegro CL use more than
  about 400M of old-space memory if you want reasonable new-space
  performance, even when using very strong words to drive home the
  point in a machine with more than enough physical memory and 4G of
  swap space just for kicks.  I have seen ACL give up the proverbial
  ghost fighting battles with memory beyond 512M, which coincides with
  the fixnum capacity.
