No I havn't. How many buffers would one have to set to use up 7 megs of
fast RAM. :<) The problem is definately StackAttack. Using it with the BB1
update sucks up 7 megs more Fast RAM than using it with either 3.1 or the
original 3.5 release. It is reproducable here every time.
Since I never had a stack problem that I know of before using StackAttack I
have stoped using it.
