is the var size stored in the vat?
well anyway, this calculates the size of lists & matricies by taking
their item count and multiplying by 10 (or 20 if complex).  that multiply
is done in hl and if it overflows there will be a memory error triggered.
also, for strings, equations, and programs, it takes the first two bytes
(size of var...) and adds 2 (those 2 you just read).  if that overflows,
it triggers a memory error.
