Pressured by my bank to upgrade Netscape, I finally got around to
ordering WarpUp! from Indelible Blue, and installed Netscape 4.61,
Java 1.1.8, FixPak 12 and other goodies from it.

WarpUp! is a neat package, worth a lot more than what Indelible
Blue charges for it (but don't quote me)!  Not so some of its
contents.

Not only does my new and improved system demand more memory, there's
a memory leak.  Before the upgrades, my swap file was set at two
megs and was never detected exceeding it.  No longer.  I'm seeing
swap files of 20 megs or more.

I presume that the new and improved Netscape and Java want more
memory up front; but I just left the system unattended for a few
hours, and during that time the swap file grew from 9 megs to 19 
megs with no real activity.

With that, attempts to start programs produce a "not enough memory
to run" error messages, even though there is ample disk space for
expansion of the swap file.  Thus, there may be a bug in the overall
memory-management/swap-file-management function.

Suggestions would be appreciated.  (BTW, I've already installed
pmmerge.dll from pmr00052.  I think it improved things a bit; but
obviously not enough.)
