- The "Out of memory" errors you refer to are not really running out of
- memory. I've run out of memory, and I get a full-screen popup stating
- that the swapper partition is full. I suspect that this error is due
- to running out of system resources (like window handles, icon
- pointers, etc.).
-
- I've been saying this a lot recently, could anyone from IBM confirm or
- deny this?
