My (limited--two computers) experience is that these will just happen, but will 
happen less often with webten than with webstar. And most importantly to me 
since I have FileMaker running on the same computer as one webten, is that 
webten will crash itself, webstar will freeze the server--leading to db 
corruption.

However, I think that 128 MB RAM is the absolute minimum to use with webten. 
You might consider (1) getting another 128 or 256 MB DIMM and trying that one 
in place of your current RAM (to verify that your current RAM is/is not causing 
the problem); and (2) if your current RAM 'checks out', put your current RAM 
back as well, so you are using 256 or more MB RAM.

The more webten has moved into the Mac's VM (OS 8.5.1 and OS 8.6), the more 
type 2 errors I've received.
