Well, there's a loooong known bug in FaccII which causes BIG trouble
in conjunction with the LowMem.library. Just remove the low mem lib,
and everything should work just fine. 

I reported this bug several times to Perry, but he seems to be busy
doing other things.
Anyway, FaccII works just fine without the lowmem.library.
