Rich Seigel (under-appreciated Support Person from THINK, er, Symantec)
writes that he tries changing the max windows value in the LAYO and
starts getting "Not enough memory to work with XXXX" under MultiFloober.

I got the same result, upping the SIZE -1 resource memory allocation for
the Finder application to 512000 solved the problem again - so it seems
that Finder (6.0 at least) is allocating lots o' memory based on this
value.  I set it back to 0 and could return the Finder to its original
value.

Curiouser and curiouser.  I eagerly await System 6.0 to see what new and
unusual things lurk just under the covers of the resource forks...
