RBTI has a memory leak when you run 6.5++ under NT (2k, or XP).  I've sent
them test cases but never had the problem actually fixed.  I have found that
the problem is caused by running a program from within a cursor.  The memory
on the machine will continually climb until windows croaks with a 'low
virtual memory' error.  The ONLY way to release the memory back the OS is to
close RBase entirely (not a very user friendly way to solve the problem).
Disconnecting the DB doesn't work.  I wish they would fix this because this
is the only bug standing in my way of moving my users from pure DOS to a
windows system.

I am Doing report in RBDOS ver 6.5++ the latest and greatest on a XP system.
(On windows ME I never encounter any problem)
Sometimes I get a NTVDM error message that (in Swedish) refers to memory.
Against my principles I have used REGEDIT32 to change :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW

And put in the memory value 256 (MB)from the default of 0. So far it seems
to have remedied the problem.

It is aginst my principles since I am not knowing what I am doing this is
far beyond my knowledge OG XP and regedit32.

Has anyone one an opinion if I am on the right track or if I should stop
messing with system defaults?
