When I was playing with the c1 version, I ran into the same problem 
but wound up with a nasty system hang. I got past this by bumping 
memory up to 60 megs.

With the final version of 2.2 running under 8.6, I got thru all of 
the tests in about 1.5 hrs by setting the interpreter's memory at 100 
megs. Four tests failed:
     test_email test_frozen test_socket test_time

I did have a problem of sorts with the installer - it thought it 
should use Carbon instead of Classic for some reason tho I've never 
run into this problem with previous versions, so I had to reconfigure 
manually. It also seems to me that the IDE is much slower about 
loading up but it does manage to do so.
