Interesting reading. However the problem remains, when an app says it
cannot run for lack of resources... what do you do?

RAM is the first place I thought of to work on.

I understand (albeit vaguely) that there are other items considered
'resources' then the vague part steps in...

All I can say is that early in a session, I can open several apps (as
needed) and then a couple of hours later I start getting errors.

BTW on that other matter, I updated the signature fle and found a dozen
instances of a couple of worms. These have been eliminated and will
watch for new spawnings. Perhaps this will solve two problems.
