Then it grew too big for 320K, and kept growing... but then I bought an Atari 1040ST with a whopping 1MB of RAM, and I could build Nethack with every option enabled and not worry about it fitting any more.
Even with the jump to 64bit computing, I still balk at code bigger than a couple MB. OpenLDAP slapd is still less than 3MB of code.
