Ok, I understand. Thanks!

Seems like adding even more memory is no simple task :)

A quick calculation on the other hand rises the question, if this much memory
shouldn't be enough. It's about 3000 times the memory of the application (4mb).

Are there any tricks how to get mudflap to use less memory? Variables don't
work, as it exits before evaluating them, so it would have to be a compile time
option.

Sadly, this is already a reduced version of our binary, so we can't get this
smaller, so I guess we have to do without mudflap's services.
