Ah, those were the days, a few bytes of ram and good ol' Win 3.1; I
remember them well.
If there's a halt during render I wouldn't expect that to be memory
related then, but then you should be able to get a good idea of the amount
used after a successful render after all. The singular dimension and the
partial render sounds suspicous of some other possible problem.
