Well, why didn't you SAY so? :)  Umm, I don't know much about P8, but my advice
is to use LOMEM and/or HIMEM to allow ProDOS to use more memory.  I always
wondered why a 1.25meg //gs would get this error under P8, btw.  I never fig-
ured out a way to solve this problem (although this was simply because of a
lack of interest).  And, you can figure out the current LOMEM/HIMEM settings
by way of a 
100 LO=peek(106)+256*peek(105): HI=peek(116)+256*peek(115)

under BASIC and P8.  Try fiddling with the LO/HIMEM pair until you figure out
which way works.  My suggestion is to set LO to 2048, use a NEW, and THEN load
in the program, and see if that works.
