Summary: bringing up DA in application's partition dangerous due to memory-lack?

am I mistaken, or do you run the danger that the amount of amount of memory
requested by an an application may not be enough to accomodate some DAs?
with unpredicatable consequences, of course ...

BTW, under MultiFinder I've noticed that when I am forced to use the Interrupt
button to escape a "tight spot" and I enter the MacsBugs command EA (for
EscapetoApplication), the application (I am thinking, in particular, of
VersaTerm-3.0) is first closed and then restarted - not, as it used to do,
simply continued ....

Also, it may be worth mentioning at this opportunity, that I have experienced
situations where a COPY and PASTE produces garbage, rather than the 5 words
selected .... - seems also having to do with lack of free memory in the
application's partition ...
