Yes, it means not enough space to run Rockbox uncompressed from flash ROM,
in case of the FMR. We call that mode RomBox, see:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=RomBox
In essence, it gains about 150 kB of RAM by not having code and constant
data there, but in flash ROM.

No fix, you have to stick with flashing compressed .ucl's. Or you
"downflash" your FMR into a V2 to make room (smaller Archos firmware), which
is practically no disadvantage. See the article.
