I still don't understand why I can get enough RAM the first time, exit,
and then fail to allocate enough RAM the second time. *Something* is
taking up that extra bit of RAM I need. What can eat RAM in between
launches of a program? Is there any house-keeping I can do to maximize
RAM at each launch time?
Does anyone else have any idea why BmpCreate would succeed once and fail
the next time the program is run? Obviously the default apps do
something *right* to clean things back up to an ideal state...
Thanks,
