I've seen this problem too. I'm running on a 4 meg Mac IIci. Other than system 7 stuff, I am running Superclock, MacTCP, Pyro, Suitcase 1.2.10, the new version of the Apple CD-ROM software, and Ethertalk (phase 1, copied from my previous system folder). I'm running with both VM and 32-bit addressing turned off. I have file-sharing on, but that shouldn't make much difference seeing that I'm the only one on our Appletalk network running system 7. I have not had enough time to try to pin the leakage down at all. It might only happen when running MacTCP applications, for instance. - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@rpi.edu or gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

What *seems* to happen is that I fill up, or almost fill up RAM, then quit some of the Apps. I also am pretty sure I've used a control panel since bootup. It's a hard one to characterize, but it happened twice this weekend. I'll try to track it some more... -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE
