(I'm not getting them, I'm just curious, because I remember this was an issue in 2.2.2 days...). BTW. I don't quite understand what's the problem with bounce buffers - can they be made to work out-of-the-box with large RAMs or can't they??? As it is now (and has been for some time), the boot.flp dies on machines with >= 512MB RAM, and IMHO this shouldn't happen...
