I've noticed this with Gulam. It seems that the memory is in fact being
fragmented. Gulam uses the gemdos Malloc which has been known to
cause this problem. rebooting overy so often is theonly 'cure' I've
found. Even so Gulam is so good it's worth putting up with!
Gulam seems to be most fragile (ie likely to crash) when processing
shell scripts in buffers. I've a feeling that the built in ue
 (what version is it ? 3.5 ?) has the some of the bugs which I
have seen in 3.[678] .
Is the Gulam source to be posted? That would be very nice indeed.
It *is* the best shell around for the ST !!
