#814: RTS always grabs 256Mb on startup

Component: Runtime System | Version: 6.4.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Os: Windows | Difficulty: Moderate (1 day)
Architecture: Unknown |
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Two bugs really:
* on Windows, the RTS always reserves 256Mb of memory on startup.
* to use more than 256Mb, you have to use +RTS -M
I think this is a hangover from the days before HEAP_ALLOCED was
implemented with an array lookup; I believe we could now implement MBlock
on Windows without these drawbacks.
