If the starpack'd program *wants* to decompress itself (or parts)
then you obviously need extra disk-space. Perhaps your prog needs
to load an embedded dynlib and extracts it first, and when it does
that, it probably makes some (unfortunate) decision about where to
unpack it to.

Starpacks shouldn't "automatically" (that is: just because they are
starpacks) need any extra runtime-space.

If we knew what program you're talking about, the author might
even answer with a reason *why* it needs extra space, or with a
bugfix otherwise :-)
