If this is happening on Windows 98, it may be exactly what it says, there might not be enough ram available for the dos prompt.
You can tweak that by editing config.sys and autoexec.bat. Google for specifics. In XP you can edit the properties of the command prompt to make some similar changes.

The only other things I personally know of that cause this are platform or file system incompatibilities, which doesn’t sound likely in your case, or corrupted system files, often related to malware infection.

Subject: Program too big to fit in memory

Hello everybody!

I have been using cURL since few months ago and sometimes I get the following issue:

I have developed a MSDOS application that calls cURL (command line) from inside the application.

There are 2 calls: the first one is a FTP upload request and the other one is a HTTP POST request.
The first one gives error: "Program too big to fit in memory". The application was working fine but after a slight modification (a couple of lines were added), the cURL started to display this message. But the second call runs without any problem. The first time I got the message I simply installed the version _without_ SSH (I am not using it). I am working under Win XP and Win 98SE.

I will appreciate any help on this issue.

Best regards,

Marco.
