objdump -x

The executable loads in my XP VM. It doesn't actually do anything -- I think
this particular demo is NVIDIA only and it likely requires much more than the
128 MB of video memory that VirtualBox allows -- but the executable loads and
uses up a bunch of memory and cpu time.

This error happens with fresh 32- and 64 bit prefixes with multiple 8k demos,
not just this one.

I think to figure out what's going on would require someone who understands
exes to look at it with a hex editor or whatever it is people use to examine
exes. `objdump -x` is able to recognize the file as an executable, but somehow
runs out of memory when trying to read the symbol table.
