This is the first I've heard of this problem.  It is a potential
show-stopper, so I'll see if we can reproduce it before Executor 2
goes beta.  In the meantime, is it possible for you to capture the
backtrace that Executor prints out when it crashes, or doe Executor
just hang when you type too quickly?

My guess is that on the Pentium you have less room available for
virtual memory.  I don't know how OS/2 does it, whether they have a
fixed size page file or whether all available free disk space can be
used for swapping, but with -applzone of 10m, you should be able to
comfortably set your DPMI memory limit down to 24 MB and that may get
rid of that message.

There's a slight chance that if you adjust applzone down to 4m and
your DPMI memory limit down to 12 MB that the problem you experience
with fast typing will go away.  If this is so, please let me know,
since we'll have to figure out whether this is something that we do
wrong or something that Warp does wrong and if it's the latter,
whether or not there are ways we can work around this problem.

We're trying our best to support Executor under Warp, but we still are
relatively ignorant about Warp.
