Since the problem is deterministic, why can't we check for this at build time? I.e. right after the kernel is compressed run the decompression code and see whether it runs out of heap space, then issue an error, or automatically increase the heap size or whatever. Just an idea.
On the other hand if simply increasing the heap fixes this for the foreseeable future then maybe there's no point...
