Subject: occasional errors citing heap_chunk_size of *0* ??

This has been bugging me for some time now.  I can find only one other
person reporting the problem (it happened to him only once).  I've read all
about setting the heap_chunk thing in the registry and tried all that, to no
avail.  

The problem is seemingly not a complaint about not being able to allocate a
certain large amount of memory, but a *zero* amount (how could you ever not
be able to allocate zero?).  Trying the commands repeatedly ultimately
works.  Can anyone advise?
