Re: CEE0808 error on %alloc

["Pete Clifford \(ariadne software\)" <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've experienced the same problem - you can't allocate the full amount that
the manual says you should be able to, and it doesn't look like the amount
of memory already used or available is the trouble. It smells of a bug to
me, especiall y since the message suggests the system thinks the amount
requested is negative.
