When I changed it to read 'options "MAXMEM=131072"' instead, the error (of course) went away. It made me wonder why the example in LINT was not a valid working example. This could be the source of your problem too if you used the LINT example to increase the available RAM beyond 64MB using the MAXMEM option.
