Apparently memory is not allocated dynamically, so you need to give an
upper bound:

  unix> clisp -W -m 200MB

(Sorry about that.) Since on your platform (Solaris 2.5.1)
generational GC is enabled, the upper bound will only be filled when
needed. Don't hesitate to give a large upper bound. Anyway, check the
results of `(room)'.
