For the sake of truth, the GNU Coding guidlines say:

"You can assume that it is reasonable to use a meg of memory.  Don't
strain to reduce memory usage unless it can get to that level.  If
your program creates complicated data structures, just make them in
core and give a fatal error if malloc returns zero."

I don't think this is too unreasonable.
