Bug#559954: can not install sbcl in a openvz container

[Rafael Jesus Alcantara Perez]

Package: sbcl
Version: 1:1.0.18.0-2
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

I'm trying to build a debian package for sbcl because Lenny and Sid Debian packages does not even start in virtuozzo containers.
It shows this error:

  /usr/lib/common-lisp/bin/sbcl.sh loading and dumping clc.
  mmap: No se pudo asignar memoria
  ensure_space: failed to validate 8589869056 bytes at 0x1000000000
  (hint: Try "ulimit -a"; maybe you should increase memory limits.)
  mv: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre «sbcl-new.core»: No existe el fichero o el directorio
  FAILED

I made a patch for avoiding such a big memory requirement but now, when I try to build sbcl version 1.0.31.0, it has
a build dependency of sbcl. And this closes the circle that makes me unable to compile sbcl in a virtuozzo container.
