Yes, indeed: it's perhaps the biggest single reason I abandoned III a long
time ago. But the error message I quoted does turn up occasionally: the
glitch is usually so easy to fix that I've never bothered to record the
circumstances (and, on reflection, I don't think it has anything to do with
file size, which was the original topic of this thread).
