David,
How big is the executable? This sounds very large. If you type condor_status you can see how much memory Condor thinks the machine or slot has. If it says 900 this is 900Mb.
I don't know how big the executable is; I'll have to ask the person who submitted it. It's a script that launches some PVM processes. We've been struggling a bit to find a way to get this application to run, since CondorPVM doesn't seem to be supported anymore.
Condor lists each slot on my 4 gig, dual-CPU nodes as having 1976 megabytes of RAM.
In your submission file you can use this value as the minimum amount of memory for the job.
I thought of that, but won't Condor just recalculate the image size after 15 seconds and decide it's too big?
Hope this helps.

I've got a Vanilla universe job that was idled after 1 hour and 45 minutes of runtime due to this:

What's the best way to override this in the submit file? Should I be setting Memory on the requirements line, or should I be overriding the computed ImageSize somehow? I know the figure must be wrong because the machine only has a total of 4 gigs of ram and 2 gigs of swap, so the process would have exhausted available memory and died if it were really that large.
