g3topbm uses WAAAAY too much ram/swap

[Paul Haggart <phaggart@cybertap.com>]

  I just setup mgetty/vgetty+sendfax today and was testing out faxes when
this happened.  I figure it shouldn't.  :)

[root:/var/spool/fax/incoming] ls -la ff2ad00aeS1-_-FAXBACK_.01

[root:/var/spool/fax/incoming] g3topbm ff2ad00aeS1-_-FAXBACK_.01 > testfax.pbm

   <insert heavy swapping / hard drive thrashing here>

Out of memory for g3topbm.

  You'd think 24mb combined free memory would be enough to convert a 47k g3 
fax into a pbm image.  :)  Anyone else had this problem?
