True. In fact, 51460Kb, is closer to 50Mb... ;)
I mistyped and added a "K". My mistake!! :)

OK. Thanks.

I only need to compress data for gzip using zlib. I don't need to 
uncompress files coming from some other place. Do you think zlib could 
work with only 32Kb? Do you know of any other gzip compatible libraries?

The program I was trying to compile in the second part has nothing to do 
with the numbers I gave in the first part of this email.
This program contains lwIP + PPP + zlib + debug information + lots of 
other things.
I just wanted to check if the error messages I was seeing were due to 
code too large.
