Well I dunno how much memory those devices have but storing the
undobuffer of all previous and current level data can become quite
large. The original C version can simply store no more than the data
itself but Java uses objects and thus it needs more memory.
I'm using the SWT library for the GUI: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ .
