I can also make AWeb crash when running on a 2 MB Picasso with CyberGraphx
2.16, picture dtype 43.667 and a 16 bit screen. However, I only get
Recoverable alerts (0100 000F I think) when I flush the Image cache having
displayed a bunch of JPegs.

I'm leaning towards the (alpha) version of the 24bit Picture datatype being
responsible.

I can run and exit AWeb without problems (I also only have 1 MB Chip RAM).

Overall a great program...although it would be nice if the shift-click to
download a link would download the image behind Image links instead of the
thumbnail itself (this is the one area so far that IBrowse scores over
AWeb).

My Money will be in the post RSN.
