That shouldn't be the case.  It should be happy with a headroom of a few
hundred k.  The crash looks like its a problem with the LowSpaceWatcher, or
a problem with the VM not maintaining enough headroom.

Does anything different happen with the standard VM?  It may be that teh
define makes no difference.


BTW, the below is a cheap way to consume memory because a byte object
contains no pointers and so if faster to scan, compact, etc:

| them | them := OrderedCollection new. [them addLast: (ByteArray new:
1024*1024*256)] repeat
