Running out of memory

Does Squeak request more memory from the OS as it needs it, or does it have
to allocate it all from the beginning ?

If it needs to pre-allocate, is this not bad ?  With most VMs I've worked
with, you can specify some of the allocation strategies that the VM uses.
This is very useful.  You can ask the VM to pre-allocate, allocate by
certain chunck size, not to exceed a set size, and so on.  Does Squeak
support, or will it support any of these types of GC features ?
