I often run into a "memory exhausted" error, usually when I'm reading (or
undigestifying) a large rmail file or running a large T3/Scheme session.
This usually ends up clobbering the buffer in some weird manner.

How can I tell how much memory I have left (it isn't DATA-BYTES-FREE; that
never seems to change)?  Is there a nice way to recover from this error if I
do run into it?  And finally, is there a way to increase the amount of memory
available to my Emacs session?

In case it's relevant, I'm running Gnu Emacs 18.30 on an 4 Meg Apollo DN3000
workstation, and there's plenty of disk space on the node.

Thanx... Ashwin Ram.
