Bruce;

  Good to see you back!  Long time no see.

  Ouch, does this mean re-boot time?  Having only (only - hah!) 1 Meg. of
memory for now, I've been pretty conscious of how much free mem is left, which
gave me the idea of a cleanup util for the sticky modules.  I think that I've
only run up against the mem limit once, but for a BBS or other 'full time'
setup, it looks as though the fragmented memory could become a problem.
