Karl,

I don't know the complete answer, but I did some poking arouns with the debugger and found that opening a movie in the player ate up about 400K of the memory inside the Squeak partition, but outside the Squeak object memory. This is the space reserved for things the VM needs in order to deal with the outside world. Since it appeared to have been about 500K to start with, that's a big bite. 

If you want to try an experiment, see what 

	n1 _ Smalltalk extraVMMemory

reports in your image. Then do

	Smalltalk extraVMMemory: n1 + aFewHundredKBytes

save your image and restart.

Cheers,
Bob
