Alternative hack proposal:<br>
allocate 10Mb+epsilon at main start<br>
do all the launcher stuff and fragmentation<br>
free the block<br>
launch tinsel<br>

I concur with the prior emails.. off the top of my head, I think of any major reason why the Tinsel heap manager couldn't be replaced with direct memory allocations/freeings with only minor effort. Some of the existing code, such as the heap compaction routine, couldn't be replicated in a direct allocation scheme, but that might not be needed if we leave everything up the operating system.<br>
