I don't know the answer to the question; I do know that 386 binaries tend
to be a whole lot bigger than 68k ones, for somewhat unclear reasons.  The
IRAF system (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility) has a recommended minimum
of 8 MB RAM for a Sun-3 and 16 MB for a 386i;  same source code, different
Fortran compilers.
