Something like this happened on an LCIII I was working on a few weeks ago
for a customer. It has 36MB RAM and system 7.1, and Netscape Gold 3.01. I
kept getting "out of memory" errors when trying to start up Netscape. Same
when I tried to start The Print Shop. I knew that couldn't be right. I went
to 'About This Macintosh' and it said the system software was using 32MB!!!
My jaw dropped. When I came to, I rebooted, and immediately checked ATM
again. Back to normal - about 2MB devoted to the system. This seemed to be
completely random...???
