- I have seen a similar warning while using Compact Pro. I believe
- what may have caused the problem was that I started it and quit
- several times, instead of just sending it to the background. May
- have something to do with System 7's not releasing memory correctly,
- since I only saw the warning once and only after several times
- opening and quitting.
