I've seen this problem many times and assumed that there was not enough
contiguous memory remaining (chip wise) to hold the new brush. It depends
on the size of the picture, screen resolution and number of colors, of
course. There may be a bug there somewhere, however, as really large
brushes (almost the whole picture) can crash the machine when they are
moved. I get around the problem by using two smaller brushes instead of
one large one. It's pretty easy to seam them up.		...sjk
