When Zap 1.47 (17 Oct 2005) crashes Iyonix 5.13 (quite frequently)
usually using text or email modes, it has usually run out of memory!
I have 512MB and notice before Zap crashes that it has grabbed a
mass of memory, (memory leak?) Starting up Zap booted its 180K used.
This has happened twice recently grabbing virtually all 462K free slot.
Can you check your Tasks next time Zap misbehaves?
I suppose this Memory leak (if that is what it is) ought to be reported to
Zap developers.
Regards, David.
