It's probably a Microsoft memory leak problem :-)

Subject: [NTLK] Heap Issues on Spirit

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

An online article,
http://spaceflightnow.com/mars/mera/040126spirit.html
contains this statement:

  "Spirit bogged down because it didn't have enough random access
  memory, or RAM, to handle the current amount of files in the flash --
  including data recorded during its cruise from Earth to Mars and the
  18 days of operations on the red planet's surface"

Sounds exactly like the kind of thing that a 120-owner faces on a daily
basis....
