Note also that:

executor -memory 5m

will work.  That will emulate a machine with 5 megabytes of RAM.  The
"-memory" switch doesn't mean exactly the same thing as "-applzone"
("-memory" sets the total of "applzone", "syszone", and "stack"), but
it serves basically the same function and it's easier to remember.
