Hum.  Well, you know Igor that when you have a machine pushed to its
limit, strange things happen.  I think your machine is definitely pushed
to its limit.

That happened to me also, in Windows 95.  I am not sure why. 
Considering it is Windows, I am sure that the OS is trying to make that
byte all pretty so you don't send it away.  Seriously, there may be
other processes in Windows which are looking at or acting on that byte,
and that could be causing the memory situation.  That is just a thought.

Virtual memory is *your* property?  Don't let Microsoft hear you say
that!

Have a good day, Igor!
