Probably true.

CauseWay starts off using extended memory, then
when that's gone, it starts using up conventional
memory. Then it uses swap space on disk before
finally declaring that it is out of memory. However it
does grab a certain amount of conventional memory
no matter what, each time it is invoked, so I really
can't give you a definite answer.

You can free up extended memory by reducing the
memory allocated to SMARTDRV, RAMDRIVE etc.

Or, simply exit ed or ee before running a large program,
as you have done already.
