Brilliant problem. I got this very early on with 6.11  ... on my Toshiba
Satellite 2130cs. I never heard of anyone else getting this before. It went
away when
I did a number of things, any one of which may have fixed the problem --
 
defrag the hard drive
set permanent swapper to 55mg
set files to 60 in config.sys
run memmaker
remove my IBM Internet Connection for Windows (went back after memmaker and ok)
 
I don't recall if I tracked this, but if I did no reply was forthcoming. I did
these things after it happened,
but I don't remember what I was doing at the time to cause the problems. I
remember
showing the screen to people at work and having to do an off/on to stop SAS.
