Hey!  This is what is probably a simple problem, but I can't solve it,
so here goes...

It never used to do this, but when I boot up, the System seems to be
reserving just under two megs for itself.  This is without any inits or
additional cdevs active.  This problem may or may not be related to a
hard disk problem I had recently where I was forced to reformat the
drive.  (I was DiskExpressing it and I got a broadcast, and the whole
thing bit the dust.)

I've got a list of things here that I've got active, as well as some
system stats:

I'm running an SE/30, system 6.0.3.  Total memory: 5120K

Only the standard DAs (those supplied as part of the system) were active.

Only the standard CDEVs and INITs were active.

The TimeTalker FKEY (completely useless) is active as CMD-SHIFT-9.

It never used to do this before, and I can't figure out why it's doing
it now.
