IMO FLIPS suffers from some memory leaks I never had time to fix or even
analyse thoroughly. You may increase the size of the DDE memory pool by
editing flips/server/src/main_lxdrv.c:22:

	if (liblinux_init(640*1024, 1024*1024))

The first value describes the vmem pool (vmalloc() and friends) - the
second describes the kmem pool (kmalloc()). 

Good luck
