|    Insufficient memory    |

   From: "John Small"    
      
   Recently I have started to experience a sporadic problem of being    
   unable to start applications because of insufficient memory. These    
   errors have occurred even when my XCenter memory monitor shows as much   
   as 77MB of free memory. So I suspect that the memory that is    
   insufficient is a special kind of memory, perhaps shared memory.   
      
   Recent software changes that may be contributing to this problem are:   
   - Boinc and Seti v6.x along with REXX utilities I've written to run    
   with them   
   - Firefox v4.0b8pre (2010-10-30)   
      
   How do I go about   
   - Determining what memory is insufficient?   
   - Determining which software is responsible?   
   - Fixing the problem?   
      
   I guess that Theseus might be what I need for the first two items. But   
   I do not understand enough about Theseus or about memory management in   
   OS/2 to have figured this out on my own.   
      
   Any help will be greatly appreciated!   
      
   P.S. My PC is an old system with "only" 256MB of RAM. (That was a lot    
   of RAM when I bought it!?)
