Turns out you don't even need any fcode to trigger this, as it does the
failing allocation in alloc-fcode-table:
  4096 cells alloc-mem to fcode-table
Which looks like it tries to allocate 64k.

In arch/sparc32/openbios.c, MEMORY_SIZE is defined to 16k, which I think
will limit the malloc size.  There's another define of 256k in
arch/sparc32/ofmem_sparc32.c that may also affect this.

On an SS-20, I can allocate at least 4M without problem:
  ok 400000 alloc-mem
  ok .s
  fe7fdff8

Are there any known problems with bumping up the size for both the 16k
and 256k limits?
