After a previous poster's note on the Projector (from the Director)
causing a task held requester, I looked into things a little further.

We have had a few reports of this happening, and in every instance
the user was using FACC-II. 

After further testing, we were able to reproduce the failure multiple
times without even using the Projector.

Running FACC-II and asdg-low-mem.library, this simple procedure will cause
the task held requester *periodically*.  Unfortunately the problem is
sporadic, and can take a couple of tries to reproduce.

	1. warm boot
	2. loadwb -debug
	3. open some windows on floppys (we also opened some hd windows as 
	   well, but I don't believe it matters too much)
	4. do a "flushlibs" from the WB debug menu

After removing the asdg-low-mem.library, we were unable to reproduce
the problem.  Our testing was done under 1.3, but other reports we've
had were 1.2 based.

In addition, we were using RAD:, Dillon's Shell V2.07 and the 1.3 
shell-seg was resident in our tests, but weren't in the other reports 
we've had.

I would be interested in any other reports people who are running 
the asdg-low-mem.library might have, I seem to remember someone
else posting a note about problems with it as well.
