I now have an alias of Memory Mapper 1.5 in my Startup Items Folder of both my PM9500/G3/400 (305MB RAM) and my PM 8500/G3/300 (640MB RAM), both running Mac OS 9.1. Every so often when I restart, it shows a large light grey area just above the System Heap. That band is represented in a lighter gray than either the System Heap at the bottom or High Memory at the top, and sometimes it occupies more almost all the otherwise available memory. I have found that with my PM8500/G3, that my Mac will soon crash if I don't restart again to cleared it up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know what causes it? (I can send a screen shot if anyone is interested).
I'd like to see a screen shot, please.
But I expect you're just seeing the memory's state before the startup heaps are purged. There are a number of tasks still on-going at the time the startup items are launched. Mounchecks, AppleTalk's zone and mount scans, DHCP cleanup, ATM checking its font database, etc.
What else do you have running? 3rd party exts/cdevs/scri, other things in the startup items folder, etc?
Describe the crash, please. Do you have MacsBug installed? A stdlog would be helpful.
