REUNION seems to be particularly fussy about the amount of memory available in
the system. Try increasing the heap size with WIDGETS by CE or some other like
program. Increase the size in 64K increments until the problem goes away. If
you look at "About the Finder ..." you will see that the system may have only a
little of its size grey - the rest will be black. You want about 20-25% free
area in the system for all your INITs, etc to work together. Beware that
increasing the heap size may make some older or sloppily written applications
fail to function.

surely this isn't a blanket warning but instead intended for those
with low memory (let's say less than or equal to 2M). if the system
uses more memory that's proportionately less memory available to
applications. however that shouldn't be a problem on high memory
machines (let's say greater than or equal to 4M). right?
