The applet I'm having the problem is intended to be run continuosly since
it is a task scheduler.  I thought it would be reasonable to assign a 1 MB
partition to the applet and 1 MB is more than sufficient for it start up
and begin it's duties.

Essentially what it does is sleep for 60 second intervals and when it wakes
up it determines if any events are scheduled to run at that moment.  If
there are events to be run, it uses OSAm to launch them.  Even 2 MB seems
excessive for such a simple program.
