Yes, thats what we were saying, out of memory errors are unusual even in a 
low memory system, but also agree that if you are getting them, things need 
checked out, as it is so unusual, something is up.

That would seem to indicate a problem.  Generally I would assume an 
application has a memory leak, or the application is not allocating itself 
enough stack space or something.  In this situation it might be good to have 
a method of checking this out, although if no programs are running, or have 
been run, and you get that error just by clicking on a system object, 
something rather basic is out of order.

Yes, thats the sort of thing I would expect.
