[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Vaccine/LSP 2.0 interaction

There seems to be an interaction betweenVaccine 1.0 and LightSpeed Pascal 2.0.
Do this.  Start up LSP, ask for a new project.  When the project is being
created, Vaccine will beep and bring up its little buttons in the right-hand
corner of the menu bar, asking for permission to add protected resources.  Fine,
grant permission, the two standard libs get installed.  Open a new window, type
a few lines of code, then bring up the dialog to change source code formatting
preferences.  Bombo, with id=25--out of memory.  I take out Vaccine, this
doesn't happen.

I don't find this particularly bothersome, and obviously, when I start
compiling large programs, vaccine will have to be disabled anyway.  I just
thought it was curious that the source format dialog would do this, and result
in such a weird error.  (With 1100k free in the heap, by the way.)
