Some things may be a bit tight for space, since we haven't had a 16-bit
machine on hand for testing since utzoo transmuted itself into a Sun,
but everything in C News is thought to work in a 16-bit address space.
A number of people, both on pdp11s and on Intel machines, have reported
success (the smaller buffer in expire that showed up in one of our patches
was the result of some of their experience).

Note that you will need to tell "build" about it -- a number of things
are more byte-thrifty when they know that space is tight.
