The solution to this problem is to increase the environment space for the Ferret application. To do this:
Modify the Environment for a Specific MS-DOS Program
To increase the default environment space for a specific MS-DOS program, follow these steps:
1.Right-click the MS-DOS program icon (In this case the Ferret icon), and then click Properties.
2.On the Memory tab, type or click the number of kilobytes (KB) the program requires in the Initial Environment box, and then click OK.
NOTE: The maximum amount
of memory you can allocate for an MS-DOS program is 4096 KB.

You must set your X server DISPLAY variable
Use the Control Panel, double click on System, click
on the Environment tab and add a DISPLAY variable.
Or, set it at the bash command line before starting Ferret.
