Ashlar Vellum recently started crashing when printing to my Deskwriter
for the second time during each startup.  At first I thought it was
a problem with Freedom of Press, so I selected the Appletalk Deskwriter
driver in the chooser, same problem. I restarted with FOP closed, printed
a drawing twice, got the same error.

The error message is in the form of a small dialog box saying simply:
"System Error" with a Quit button.  Quitting only quits Vellum, and
if I restart Vellum I get an error "There is not enough memory...
2500k needed, 2499k available.....".  Restarting the mac permits 
Vellum to be restarted and allows a drawing to be printed once.

About the Finder confirms that memory has become fragmented, but how
does it get fragmented by printing?

The system  is:  IIci, 8M ram, system 6.0.5, SUM Shield init,  Moire,
Superclock, ATM, Super Boomerang, Suitcase II with Freedom of Press
usually running (though turning it off didn't help) all under MultiFinder.

Any thoughts are appreciated
