Emacs 19.25 on messdos - memory bug?

#87970

I recently got a copy of the Emacs 19.25 source, and tried to compile
it on my messdos using djgpp 1.11.maint5. The compile process goes ok until
it does temacs -batch -l loadup dump, and it proceeds to load its files,
then after Loading version.el..., it says: 'Pure Lisp storage exhausted'.
So I raised PURESIZE, like it says in the PROBLEMS file. I raised it to
400000 and rebuilt - same result. Ditto for 600000 and 1000000 and 2000000.
I've got 20mb of memory in my machine, and another 22mb of swap --
how can it be running out of memory? (I have the HIMEM.SYS and EMM386 drivers
installed - is this the culprit?)

Thanks for any help.
