Well, I just thought I would let you know that there is a way to keep
boomerang from loading into the system heap, thus eliminating your heap
problem.

Try going under the control panel or the options... menu item in the SF dialog
box to set the checkbox for load into system heap off.

Reboot and try that.  I found that with the box on, alot of my inits failed.

Hope this helps.  ....Greg
