[Coco] Re: creatdsk.c source

Even so, cc or cc1 will probably require more memory, as was reported. I 
see exactly the same thing when compiling ml code with asm. When you 
have ifp1 use /dd/defs/defsfile, you must assign about #30K extra memory 
or there is an error. The compiled code does not change size but in 
effect the size of the source has increased significantly.
