Should be much more.

The size looks a bit weird, but that shouldn't cause the problem.

Aha, you experienced other problems as well, right?

First examine your linker map file to see, whether a large memory block
at 0x02xxxxxx.

If nothing suspicious can be found, you can look to the Nut/OS Software
Manual about how to debug heap memory.

Nut/OS comes with its own heap management.
