Several hundred meg - per CICS region.
It was anchored and re-used on region restart. Which worked sometimes - else 
you wound up with all that allocation orphaned. And of course it had to be 
contiguous. On occasion we had 3 regions (or 2 regions plus one orphan 
allocation) concurrent in the development system. Making allowance for that 
didn't leave much (address space) region for anyone else on that system.
I used to go ballistic, but was told to "make it happen" - and yes, this 
allocation (only one) was also required in prod.
Manically stupid design.
