 Tested on GCC4 hybrid rev. 38892 on Vmware.

 7za version is 9.04 Beta.

 I'm trying to compress a 400mb directory using this command:

 7za a -t7z -mx=9 archive.7z directory

 The machine with 512mb of RAM won't even start compressing the archive,
 returning:

 'can't allocate required memory.'

 I upped the memory to 1.5gb, restarted, and retried.

 The same error came up with the archive compressed to 90%...

 I don't think this is normal behaviour that it needs to store everything
 in RAM?
