The DA needs more memory.  Advice from Apple is to open DAs that you
hope to use BEFORE starting any other applications (this presumably
allows the DA Handler to expand appropriately, which implies that the
DA Handler can expand it's partition, something MY application can't do!).
This also defeats the whole idea of a DA, which is to be something close
at hand when you encounter a need for it...sigh...

The alternative, which works for me *most* of the time, is to hold down
option to force the DA into the current application's heap.  For some
reason, I get a sense of vengeance when I inflict that abuse on the
Finder's heap.  Naturally, very large DAs are not going to make it under
all circumstances: apps aren't required to give DAs lots of room.
