For starters unless your app causes alot of swapping, NOSWAP is not going to
make much difference and could contribute to you problem.
NOMOVE is probably why you are running out of memory, after all if there is
not a big enough space to put your app in and OS/2 can't move memory around
to make space, then what else do you expect it to tell you.
And you did not say if your running PM, if so NOSWAP,NOMOVE is a bad idea.
