- Thanks for mentioning both the Executor version and the command line
- options you give it! Many bug reports don't bother, which makes our
- job more difficult.
-
- This is probably the same Executor bug I mentioned on this list
- recently. When Executor/DOS starts paging and the clock is on
- (e.g. no "-noclock"), the buggy DOS extender we use can hang your
- machine. Since you have 8MB of RAM and you're requesting -applzone
- 8192, Executor needs more total memory than you have physically
- available (due to overhead above and beyond the -applzone space).
- This would work (via paging) except for that DOS extender bug. I'm
- tackling that problem right now. For now, try a more modest applzone
- (e.g. 2048) and see if that helps.
