Interesting, because most of the time when I try something like that with a
SubLaunch, the trap returns a -10 and not a -108. Mike Libes mentioned
he has the same thing happening with his _Launch program, ie, not
enough memory to SubLaunch an application results in a -10 return
code. I'm completely mystified by this!
