Hi I was just using idraw and doing nothing stressful (A single object)
when I was booted out rather rudely and got the following error message:
%default_new_handler: out of memory... aaaiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I was just changing the shape of a splined curve at the time! I'm also
on one of the tester machines up in Bld 38.
You ran out of memory. That's what it said, and that's what it meant
:-). Apparently, you're trying to do something which requires a lot
of memory, and there isn't enough memory available to handle it. Try
doing "unlimit" before running idraw. Also, try killing off some of
the other programs you're running if you're running a lot of them.
While I'm at it, another bug. Whenever I try to use idraw on an RT
I always a file error when I try to open a file. It seems to do it
anyway but acts like it can't. The file submenu also never shows the
directory on the RT!
Can you give me more details about this? What filename do you try to
open? What error does it give?
