Abe,

In reference to your observation on the last problem that win95 did not
behave like NT and report low virtual memory.

I believe this is due to your use of the "let windows manage my virtual
memory for me" setting in the system control panel of win95. Windows
will grow the pagefile as necessary, in this case probably until the
entire disk is full. In NT, you cannot grow indefinately, you must
specify an upper limit on pagefile size.

Seems to me that these are just obvious coding bugs that do not detect a
recursive case without an exit. I wonder if it is possible to write a
useful web page using this technique, calling one's self, or if all such
cases are bogus. If this is a useful programming technique, then it
would be very difficult to detect a non-function exit clause and most
probably IE would have to limit the depth of recursion to solve this
problem.
