That's not low flash storage, it's RAM, and it's not spurious.
Frotz reports the dialog when the OS tells it it's low on memory.  Frotz then 
frees the memory for the icons and 
splash screens to try to recover, but it's a warning that the OS may kill Frotz 
if memory gets too low.
Usually the problem is that Safari (which uses a lot of memory and unlike 3rd 
party apps is allowed to keep 
running in the background).  Switch to Safari and then hold down Home for 10 
seconds to kill it.    (Rebooting 
your phone would work as well, but this is easier.)
Then relaunch Frotz and it will no longer report memory errors.
