Altsys, makers of FONTastic (and the new Fontographer) are sending out a note
with their Mac+ compatible releases, that states there is a memory management
bug in the new ROMs.  The effect is that memory is not freed or reclaimed
until the application quits.

Needless to say, I am quite anxious to see Apple update the ROMs, always a fun
process that generates zillions of postings.
