WINCE: FT: Unable to allocate memory in credits

Description
Using 0.10.0 on a PocketLOOX N560 (VGA). Same issue with and without vorbis compressed audio.
Watching the credits at the end of Full Throttle, ScummVM gets to the end of one of the songs (the one that's playing while the voice cast starts, the first song I think), and then gives up with the following error:
ERROR: (153:438:0x37): Out of memory while allocating 481732
I went and checked how much free memory my device has and, assuming I'm looking at the right number, it's 30MB. So that shouldn't be an issue. I tried the same thing on Linux and followed its memory usage and there didn't seem to be anything wrong there.
I think it must be a slow leak, cos if I save it just before that point and reload, it doesn't happen (though I did save on linux and load on wince, maybe that made a difference).

So, by loading the attached savegame it is probable that I won't be able to reproduce the crash in wince?

Sorry, I'll try to make myself clearer. I thought, when I wrote the description, that the save I'd attached worked, but on double checking this morning it doesn't seem to. Sorry for wasting your time.
I've attached a new one, and I've tried this one three times from a cold start. Unfortunately you have to sit through the end of the funeral, the car scene AND the first song of the credits (I think I know them by heart now). Sitting through all this until the end of the first song in the credits (around the time when "The Vultures" voice actors come up) reliably reproduces the bug, at least on my device.

Interesting. If it's a slow leak, it should be possible to find it on a regular PC, too...

This might be a leak, yes, or memory fragmentation coupled with the increasing size of the scummvm executable. I am going to tackle this (and the rest of the bugs) as soon as I finish investigation for a plugin architecture for the wince port. This has been going behind schedule due to RL commitments, but I plan to resume work on this very soon.

This is definitely a low memory problem. WM5 leaves about 16MB (or 13MB in the phone edition) free for applications, which simply are not enough for the multiple vga buffers we require. This can only be fixed by enabling the plugins and introducing the new low memory scheme proposed in -devel. I am closing this with 'Postponed' status - it will be addressed when the new infrastructure is in place.
