It's ordinarily memFullErr, "Not enough room in heap zone".  Since no
heap zones are involved, we have to assume that the MF creators decided
to get creative and use this existing error code to mean that there's
not a big enough chunk of application memory to launch it.

Sure enough, I just launched MPW, made sure there wasn't enough space
to launch ResEdit, put a breakpoint on Launch, tried to launch RsEdit
from the MPW Shell, and Launch returned with a -108 (0xffffff94).
