!Cache does not error here when in !Boot.Resources, but it also cannot use
its SysLog calls as !SysLog is booted after !Cache.

If I try to use !Boot's 'Look at' the error here is "Not enough memory", and
the cache doesn't.

One work around is to comment out the SysLog run line in !Cache.!Run.

Another work around is to Filer_Run <SysLog$Dir>.!Run which had the
disadvantage the the SysLog module is not loaded in time for
!Cache.!RunImage to use it and is therefore somewhat useless.

A more useful evasion is to ensure the the SysLog module is loaded before
!Cache is booted.

That is what is happening here but so far I have not seen the "Not enough
application memory to start Basic" error.

Raspberry Pi, OS5.21 (03-Jun-14).

Hope this helps.
