Well I have managed to find a bug in 1.3! It would have to be while I
was giving the first run of a course to raw beginners (what, run through
it before hand, you say?).
Bug can be produced as follows -
Using a distribution 1.3.2 WB, boot it and abort the long and tedious
startup-sequence at the beginning. Do a "dir ram:" to fire up the RAM
DISK, loadWB, and shrink the CLI window.
Open up the WB, and drag the "empty" drawer icon over to the RAM DISK to
get a copy there.
Activate this copy, and the select "duplicate" from the workbench menu.
You will now find an icon for "copy of empty", and an error message
about "Not enough memory, delete something to free some" or words to
that effect.
The bug does not appear with 1.2 WB, or if VD0: is used instead, so it
seems like it is in the 1.3 Ram-Handler.
This showed up on the whole class' machines, including one with 5Meg!
