Dunno what I will use under OBOS (neither Hekkelman's Pe
nor Pavel's Eddie will be ported by their authors, I assume) but
hopefully something that rocks as much as those :-)

The only little (*cough, cough*) issue I have with Pe is this
well known (?) bug with its stderr capture window that does
not free up its BListItem's, thus crashing Pe after a few
dozen compilation cycles.

To bring this back somewhat on-topic, I remember a Be engineer
once saying that the actual amount of memory a Be app can malloc()
is of the order of 128MB or something, by  opposed to create_area()
which has the normal 2GB limit or similar.   Wondering how
different that will be with NewsOS/OBOSlibc.so ...
