- I used to get that error frequenctly with Borland C++ v4.02 under Windows
- 3.11. I beleive it was a memory leak in the compiler or linker which
- eventually ate up all of the available memory below 1 MB which is required to
- start a new process, because I could make it happen just by doing four or five
- makes without even running my program. I have not seen this problem since I
- switched to Windows 95.
-
- It helps to load any real mode devices drivers into high memory if possible,
- giving the leak more low memory to eat up before it dies.
-
- I Hope this is fixed in BC 5.0, but don't hold your breath.
