Strange.  I have been having exactly the same problem with the
same version under PC-DOS with Microsoft C Version 4.0.  I can't
edit anything larger than about 20K without getting messages that
EMACS can't allocate space.  Version 3.7j works (same compiler,
same system) on much larger files.  This sounds like a bug
(it better not be a feature :-) ) introduced somewhere between
the two versions.  Has it been fixed in a later release?
