That's possible.  Until mid of June (some weeks before the
optimizations), the default value was sufficient on this machine
(Pentium M 1500MHz; gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease); SUSE 10.0).
I didn't update the sources often on this host, so I'm not sure when
got the overflow the first time.

On the other machines, I had to add some extra space at least since
April.  See the thread "PURESIZE increased (again)" (April-June)
