Carnage Inc WimpSlot

When trying to run Carnage Inc via ADFFS on my physical 4MB machine it fails with an error that there is not enough memory to start the application.
I have had a look at the Obey file for F1006701 and it has the following line
IF "<GameType$>"="One" THEN Wimpslot -Min 720K -Max 2000k ELSE Wimpslot -Min 2000k -Max 2000k.

The original run file has this line set as

IF "<GameType$>"="One" THEN Wimpslot -Min 720K -Max 2000k ELSE Wimpslot -Min 1100k -Max 2000k.

I have adjusted this in the obey file and the game runs. Is there a reason that it is set as a minimum of 2MB? When ADFFS is loaded as well as the disk image, there is not enough RAM to run it.

Thanks

I believe the game crashes or does odd things with only 1.1MB of Appspace. It's been a while since I last looked at it.
