128 *K*? Really? When Xastir's almost-bare footprint with a few shapefiles
loaded is something on the order of 20M? The running X server on my machine
has an RSS of 60M. Doesn't 128K trash? I haven't owned a machine with less
than 1MB of core in over 10 years --- in 1991 my first PC running BSD was a
386 with 8MB. I'm in awe that 128K is enough for anything. More power to
ya.
