I should point out in the current JUNE/00 macintosh 2.8beta VM the amount of
slop allocated to the C heap at startup time is now 500,000 bytes, which
makes Open Transport more happy, before this in say 2.7 it I think was a
smaller number. As Andrew points out you can of course give the VM more via
extraVMMemory
