Memory problems arose for me when I upgraded from Script Debugger 3.0.9 to
4.0. Editing a script that seemed fine in Debugger 3 generated a
memory-related error when trying to compile it in Debugger 4:
"Cannot Compile Script. Size Check failed (memSCErr:-116)").
So I filed a bug report with Late Night Software and got a helpful response
from Mark Alldritt, passed on below. (I imagine that Mark won't mind.)
