I had the same problem. The only solution I found is:
- find the data size you need to write to the clipboard
- check if AvailMem(..) > data_size + some_more_security
- if yes write it.
Of course with multi-tasking another task can allocate memory between
your AvailMem and your write, and Forbid()/Permit() is not very friendly.
Best regards,
