Have you tried to follow the advice:

)lisp (allocate 'cons 200000 t)

(Or some bigger number instead of 200000).  Using gcl 2.6.7 I can
maximally give 110000 (120000 is refused, few numbers between crashed
gcl).  Using gcl 2.6.8 I can give bigger values.  Typically page 
means 4 kilobytes, that would agree with process size (empty Axiom
about 80 Mb, around 900 Mb after allocating 200000 pages).
