That reminds me of the old linux kernal "memory is tight!" message that
drove everyone NUTS. This was back when 4 megs was considered a good
ammount of ram and 16 megs was over-the-top yuppie excessiveness
(and over $400!)
I remember some usenet post like "I just added *another* 16 megs and I
still get that damn message. How much memory could it possibly need?"
Of course the kernel was complaining about the memory space below 640k :)
