One solution is to allocate this data on external heap.
(See ExternalAddress class>>allocate:) instead of using a ByteArray in
Smalltalk memory.

Of course, you'll have to free data yourself as in C.
Maybe the trick explained at http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=3692 that
should be in latest image can help...
