At 3001 update levels and below, there was a problem with paging space on 
machines that used the hft device (like the large color monitor).  This 
problem is mostly corrected in 3002, but not completely solved until the
3003 update.  3003 should be available soon, so I suggest that you wait it
out, and just reboot the machine frequently.
