Emacs 19.26.  Sun Sparc 5 running SunOS 4.1.3.

I put a bunch of stuff into site-init.el, to speed startup (I hate
waiting for packages I use a lot, like dired).

However, Emacs ran out of pure storage when dumping.  I upped PURESIZE
in pursize.h and recompiled.  But I had not upped it enough.  So I
tried again.  I had to repeat this process several times.

Right now Emacs dies immediately when pure storage is exhausted.  I
think it would be better for Emacs to continue, and then print the
amount of pure storage needed before failing.
