I believe that calling MaxApplZone() should be sufficient. Setting the size
of the ApplLimit by a fixed positive amount could cause problems. What happens
if the user set the multifinder partition size to a value less that 256k?

MaxApplZone() is supposed to expand the heap to it's fullest possible extend.
