- In answer to my own post, several people have informed me that the problem
- is probably due to an INIT that allocated memory to itself and doesn't
- give it up. Are there INIT's which are known to do this? (To save me
- from the divide and conquer scheme)
- I have:
- Gatekeeper and Gatekeeper Aid 1.2.7
- Norton Filesaver 2.0
- Sound Control 2.2.1
- Superclock! 3.9.1
- Moire 3.22
- The Grouch 2.5b1
