Could be that memory is getting too fragmented to load in the compiler again.
Try running 'frags' if you have it when the compiler fails to load and note
how big the largest fragment available is.

700 buffers = 350K + ~10K for FaccII + TrackDisk buffers + Workbench code +
WorkBench screen = not much left for you buddy. I'd really try using 512 buffers
if you only have 1 meg - that'll eat up 256K ...
