virtual memory

I was flying from Pentonville to Troy, flying Tayla's second mission. When I jumped to 119ce, the usualy loading delay kicked in, but nothing else ever happen. After twiddling my thumbs for about 90 seconds, I got a Windows dialogue box about how I didn't have enough virtual memory and Windows was resizing my page file automatically.

Behind this window was a runtime error dialogue box for Vegastrike. I would show you a screenshot, but that's not possible when your system is out of memory. :) When my hard drives finished their crunching, I rebooted. My page file size was unchanged.

I have 1024MB of RAM and a 1024MB page file on its own hard drive partition. Nothing was running on my system that isn't always running when I fly Privateer,

looks like somehow the path finder screwed up and decided to suck all your memory...

I wish I understood that code-- I could potentially disable it after a jump and wait for the user to fiddle with the map
