    Have you seen this bug in MorphOS?
    If you need more than 1.5 GByt ram, this is a way to more ram ;)

    That is not a bug.

    What you experience is an application which performs illegal memory accesses. Illegal memory accesses cause a damaged memory list, so the OS looses track and will crash shortly after.

    This behavior can only be prevented by avoiding the broken application writing over its own memory boundaries.

    If that happens frequently, then you should use the tool WipeOut from SDK to find out which application is causing it and inform the developer.

    I donĀ“t think it is a MorphOS component causing this issue anyway.

    PS: A save way to create more memory is using the good old tool FakeMem from amient: http://aminet.net/search?query=memory+creation :D
