works fine for me on machines with 32mb of ram ... maybe you need to add some 
swap

i didnt say they contained machine code, just that they were binary data ... 
glibc does not do any endian swapping with locale data, nor byte packing, so 
it may work and it may not ... if it doesnt work, well you get to pick up the
