I don't know if this would hold for Xy4 under OS/2, but the Nota Bene
manual has always stated a 64K total limit (that old buffer constraint)
for all personal dictionaries loaded simultaneously. Yours is well
within that size, so I would look elsewhere for the problem, probably in
your allocation of extended and/or expanded memory.

(Quite possibly XyWin is designed to ignore this DOS buffer restraint,
but programs designed for DOS have to deal with it.)
