Cannot activate sbcl

Hi all,

I (am trying to) use sbcl on Windows. On some PC's it runs ok, while
on others I get the message (upon runnin sbcl.exe):

VirtualAlloc: 0x1e7.
ensure_space: failed to validate 536870912 bytes at 0x09000000
(hint: Try "ulimit -a"; maybe you should increase memory limits.)

What does it mean? I get this message on a PC with 1 GB RAM so I
believe memory is not the issue.

I'll appreciate your help
