Let me ask Jim Read again to see what he says. Last time he thought it
was the heap size limitation (not buffer which I mistakenly said
earlier).

Jim did mention XFix, which I have not tried. There's a very good
thread on XFix over at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xworkplace-user/message/9755. Apparently
it's part of XWorkPlace. The consensus seems to be you run it last,
after first running UniMaint, then CheckINI, then CleanINI. See the
mentioned thread for some specific suggestions on how best to run XFix.
(If a commercial pops up, use the "Continue on to message" link.)

I think XFix is available here:

http://www.xworkplace.org/proj_xwp.html

I downloaded XWorkPlace but couldn't figure out a way to unzip it (it
isn't zip or rar), and I didn't want to install it yet (it's a WarpIN
package).

Hmm, I should prep to do this.

Using the fancy new SCOUG search engine (lurkers: it's on the SCOUG home
page with fixes made by Steven) I typed in "process dump" and found an
article by a writer guy named Steven Levine who said to follow the
instructions written up in \os2\system\ras\procdump.doc. Cool.

Time to fire up that fancy new SCOUG search engine again . . .
