The Visual Workbench Integrated Debugger, used with:
SUMMARY
The integrated debugger in Visual C++ 1.50 uses a DLL (TLW0NCL.DLL) that is
unecessarily allocated in low memory (below one meg) and fixed there. This
uses a valuable system resource that should be available for other
applications.
The most common behavior is the appearance of a message box containing this
error message:
Could not load debugee. Windows is Out of Memory (1)
This occurs when trying to run an application in the Visual Workbench
debugger. One reason this can occur is because all of the memory below one
megabyte is full. Typically, this will happen when many drivers are loaded,
such as network or SCSI drivers.
Microsoft has released a patch to Visual C++ 1.5 which will allow the DLL
for the debugger to load where Windows has room. This patch will modify
the Visual Workbench 1.50, the new one will be version 1.50.01.

In addition, this patch will fix another problem with Visual C++ 1.50. The
problem occurs when long strings are passed to OutputDebugString(), or when
OutputDebugString() is called successively with no new-line characters.
This may cause a general protection (GP) fault or cause the computer to
hang (stop responding). For more information on this problem, query in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base using these keywords:
OutputDebugString and Workbench and patch
This patch should only be applied when one of these problems is
specifically encountered. These are the only two changes to Visual
C++, version 1.5.
