[Dxbase] Out of memory.

FWIW, I leave DXB running 24 hours a day with spots pouring in. Running 
it on XP right now.  Never had this issue either if you're wondering if 
the spots overload it.  The only thing I notice is my log disappears 
occasionally but I can minimize it and bring it back up and there it 
is.  Still loving DXB.  Been a user since the very first version.  I'm a 
challenged user too.
