Error $201 on 8-bit apps



Hey folks, demonstrate that we still give support here.  :)

   Okay, here's the deal.  Recently every time I load the full System
and try to launch ProTerm with QuickLaunch, the computer makes like
it's going to run the program then bails to a screen that says I have
encountered error $201 (can't allocate memory) and reboots.  But I can
run 16-bit programs without problems.  Thought it might be just Quick-
Launch getting flaky, but when double-clicking any 8-bit apps' icons,
same thing happens:  under full system load I can run GSHK but not
Shrink It 3.4.  And what more, the problems don't happen when I do a
partial boot (with the Skip'em init after QuickLaunch, GUPP and the
screen saver); QuickLaunch works fine.  The $201 hits when everything
is loaded and I try to run any 8-bit program.  The 8-bit programs *do*
work fine with a shift-boot or a Skip'em boot.  Here's the kicker:

     This only started happening in the last week and I haven't added
anything to the System sequence in a month (all worked fine under a
full boot prior to a week ago!).  Suggestions, ideas?  Has one of my
memory-based doodads (CDevs, DA's, Extras) suddenly gone wonky on me?

                                                        << mushroom >>
