Thanks to the feedback from early recipients of my recently-posted
Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle, I've discovered that the thing doesn't run on
large screen Mac's.  I had forgotten that the size of a window's bitmap
is dependent on the screen size rather than the window's size.

So if your large-screen Mac says "Out of Memory" when you run the Christmas
Jigsaw Puzzle, either temporarily disable your large screen or borrow a
friend's small-screen Mac.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
