Yep!  I have 8MB ram, with default swap file.  I often run into the W4W
low on memory problem.  Usually when i try to print, or open another 
file, or sometimes just bring a different document to the front!
This has happened at times when i've had as little as 2 documents of
one page each open, and no other apps running.  I don't know how to cause
this to happen on command, unfortunately.  W4W has memory management bugs.
No two ways about it.
