Unless it seems to be happening at the same point with the same OGO
app, it sounds more like a Windows memory management problem. If it
was doing it as soon as the program was activated I would suspect a
video or comm driver (pcmcia adapters surreptitiously replace the
standard one sometimes). If you are using a perm swap file you
might want to try increasing its size or switching to a temporary (or
vice versa) to see if you can narrow it down. Same thing with 32 bit
disk and/or file access or disabling a third party memory manager
just to see if you get different behaviour.
Before I would even do that I would make sure that all other apps
and background tasks are killed in case there is a conflict there.
