Hello Martin,

no - this AMD-slowdown problem has definitely nothing to do with your hint
about ´VirtualAlloc´, it has already occured _before_ I´ve tried to solve
this 256MB problem at all.

Your suggestion to use ´VirtualAlloc´ instead of ´malloc´ was really fantastic,
and it works without any problems here on my Win98 system. :-)
(So there´s absolutely no need to take it back again)

But this _new_ problem seems much harder to solve ... :-(

Best regards,
Franz.
