Once again, I have a problem within a printing loop.  Everything works fine
with the PrintMonitor, but w/o background printing, no matter *how much*
memory is available (as in > 1 MB), it gets an OSErr -108 (iMemFullErr).
The heaps ok, the largest available block is > 500K.  The error occurs
during a call to DrawPicture; the pictures are pretty small, ~300 bytes.

As I mentioned, everything works great with the PrintMonitor, the code is
from TN 162 or something.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks muchly,
