What?!  Rebooting when a program runs out of memory is typical?  I don't think so.  I can put Cinema 4D at the "Out of Memory" limit on 32-bit Windows and simply close Cinema 4D and continue with whatever - including restarting Cinema 4D.  What that indicates is that Poser's memory handling is sod-off with dangling memory (memory that was never freed) which then must be reclaimed slowly by the OS.  This means that the more you do this, the less available memory off of the heap each time.  If this is actually a quirk of Vista then praise Jupiter that I never upgraded.  Hope it doesn't persist in Windows 7.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
