No sin on my part, just some well-meaning liberal attempts by Shell+ to give
more memory initially, thus meaning that Umuse3 can't allocate (malloc) more
later.  Surprised that the hard drive makes any difference.

There is a bug in C's malloc() routine tho, or maybe in Level 2. If you view
the "g?" menu you will get "oil spill" on the top of the screen, which will
then infect every other menu afterwards. I fixed this, but till we get the next
version out, do this -Always visit the MIDI Modes or Levels sub-menu as soon as
you get to the Score Screen the first time you start up Umuse -- this "trains"
the memory allocater not to make mistakes with that huge g? menu. --mike k.
