I've haven't heard about any problems like this before, so I don't know
what's happening.  I haven't come across P8 programs that have the
problem, but my first guess is that they are using memory outside banks
0 and 1 without allocating it through the memory manager.  Has anyone
else had a problem like this & investigated it?
