I have _confirmed_ that booting without the SIMPLEGELS option on
LoadWB is the cause of the 300K Chip RAM loss when using FBlit
3.51a and WBCtrl IMT=ICONFAST on my A1200T using AGA.
Where the actual problem lies in which program, I have no idea.
I simply work around it by using SIMPLEGELS. FBlit and WBCtrl
are a major help in conserving Chip RAM on my AGA only machine.
I'll be fixing that in about a week by picking up a used gfx
card.
