Question:

        Does the Exec (or what ever you call the memory management area)
keep memory aside for emergency use?

Reason:

        What prompted this question is the fact I was using a program, and
I did know I was starting to run short on memory, but I kept using the
program, pushing it to it's limits. The program froze the machine. The only
way out is to reboot, which I did. And then I got guru # 82011234.00FC082C.
The utility that I have says this means:

FF:.2>guru 82011234.00FC082C

Graphics: emergency memory not available.

        This is not a very important question to me, but I would still like
to know what this is all about. Learning about my mistress... Ami.
