[PATCH]Uncompressing Linux... Out of memory: fixed by increased HEAP_SIZE

Hi,

booting newest 2.6.9 experimental kernels, I frequently encountered
"Uncompressing Linux... Out of memory --System halted"
In some mail archive I found the (obvious ;-) solution: Increase HEAP_SIZE.

Here in line 122 of arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c this
#define HEAP_SIZE 0x4000
instead of
#define HEAP_SIZE 0x3000
made 2.6.9-mm1-RT-U10.3 boot again.

0x3400 or 03800 might also do it, haven't checked.

Best,
Karsten
