This is Executor 1.99q9, compiled Mon Mar 11 20:20:46 MST 1996.
CPU type is 80486 or better.
Choosing 2.00 MB for applzone, 0.50 MB for syszone, 0.25 MB for stack
Another 2.5 MB is taken up by memory that's given to the virtual Mac.
That leaves about 2.5 MB left for scratch space for dynamic
recompilation as well as the video buffer (300k needed for 640x480).
Are you using any command line switches to adjust the amount of memory
Executor uses ("-memory", "-applzone", "-syszone", or "-stack")? I
just checked and "top" gives roughly the same size as ps does, so
something on your system is making Executor use a lot more memory than
it does by default.
