[]
When playing on an Amiga with 1 Meg, running an AmigaBASIC program that
created a high-res 3 plane screen, I found that after running the program
about 10 times it could no longer allocate a new screen.  I had to warm-boot
each time before my program would run again.  My suspicion is that, due
to silly memory management, AmigaBASIC lost track of a couple zillion bytes
everytime a screen was created or destroyed, until it eventually had none
left.  Is this a known problem?  It's not terribly important, but annoying.
