This is typical of an out of memory condition. 93K is a *very* small
amount of memory.  I realize that there are some 1.5 meg machines out there.
You might need to look carefully at the output to see if save/restore
pairs are being used.  save will mark the state of the memory, and restore
will restore the memory back to the state it was at when saved.  This will
cause any temporary garbage to be removed and return the space to VM.
