Limit of allocate()

Hi Rob,

in "machine.e" it reads:
   global function allocate(positive_int n)

so the biggest possible argument for allocate() is
#3FFFFFFF (= 1 Gigabyte - 1 Byte). Maybe a short note
about this limit in the documentation of allocate()
would be useful.
( I think at the time when you implemented the allocate()
  function, it probably was hard to imagine that a normal
  PC would have more than 1 GB RAM.  )

Regards,
   Juergen
