I have noticed same problem on 10.28C on Windows 98 & ME. You won't
see the problem on NT,2000 or XP.
This seems to be a GDI/User memory leak. On 98 & ME, no matter how much
memory you have, GDI/User memory is limited to 64K; this should not be
a problem, unless there is a leak. I've not been able to track down
where or what is causing it, to report to Wayne, but certainly I've had
to restart WL a couple of times during a contest. I'd ask everyone to
watch for it, beause it is there. Just damned hard to pinpoint.
