Setting the wimpslot to 6000k the next error message is,

Wimpslot not big enough to run ELF program.

Setting it to 14500k gives,

Insufficient memory for application

Is there any way for the ELF loader to automatically allocate the wimpslot
in the same way that current versions of RISC OS do for AIF.

I can't see it would do any harm setting it to 15000k. At least it will
always run.

Chris.
