ERR #2 winopen: ERR_OUTMEM

Hiya folks,

I got my answer to changing window icontitles, thanks to a very nice
script by Chris Hull of uvm.edu.  No glare-screens yet, I'm surprised!

Anyway, a new question:  I'm trying to write a program that opens a window
and displays an image, then waits for an event (a menu-choice actually),
then closes the window and opens a new one, displaying another image, and
so on.  The program works on the first image no problem, but after
receiving the menu choice and the first window closes, the program 
crashes with:

ERROR #2 winope : ERR_OUTMEM
ERROR #75 winope : ERR_UNABLETOOPEN
ERROR #75 winopen : ERR_UNABLETOOPEN

as its only response.  Nothing in SYSLOG at all.  No error messages on the
console window either.  The program is definitely not a significant memory
hog (in fact you can bring up several independent invocations of it each
displaying a different image, proving that the images themselves are not
too large to fit in memory).  What could the problem be?

Please email suggestions/help to cliff at research.nec.com.
Thanks in advance!
