I have been unsuccessful in compiling virecover, no matter which compiler
flags I set.  I always run out of memory, which seems absurd.

At first, I succeeded in compiling everything in elvis except virecover with
just a 240k RAM disk (with 640k - 240k - 117k = 283k for user processes), so
I could understand not having enough free memory.  But now I put my root
filesystem on a 1.2MB disk, so it goes into extended memory, and have STILL
been unsuccessful -- with 640k - 117k(system) = 523k available!  The ONLY
thing running in the background is cron/atrun.
