Okay, I hope someone can explain this behavior to me. :-)

App. runs fine inside FB performing all actions.
Compile app.
Alot 1000k to the app
Run compiled app.
Perform action A the first time and app crashes with Sys #25 err

Increase mem alottment to 2000k

Run app and it runs ok with no crash.

Watch running of app with RAMHighwater

Performing many actions, including Action A which caused the crash 
several times, the highest registered RAM use in RAMHighwater is 407k.

Is there something which would cause #25 error except running out of 
memory?
Is there a memory usage which does not show up in RAMHighwater?
The offending Action A accesses the Rsrc fork. Could that, if done 
incorrectly, cause the 600k memory leak?
Is there a Santa Claus?

As always - TIA
