This is mostly speculation: 1.12 uses the KEEPMEM header field to decide
whether or not to swap out everything before spawning.  I think it doesn't
swap out if less than one MB was used, but that might not be appropriate for
a 4MB system.  So, I'd suggest using stubedit on make and gcc to reduce
KEEPMEM to 0.
