I suppose that's possible; memory issues can affect a wide variety of
object-loading issues.

But I've only ever seen low-memory errors on Mac OS 9 and earlier; Win and
UNIX seem to have sufficiently robust virtual memory such that I've never
encountered such an error on those systems (I was even able to use
decompress on a 280MB gzipfile on OS X without a hitch).
