Hi,

I'm not sure if all of my problems from ctm are related to your changes.
After the first problem I've do more testing with ctm. In the past I've used
one console for buildung ros and another which runs ctm. I've build ros
completly. Currently I've get a bugcheck (my first reported problem which is
now fixed) in the teb allocation routines and now I'see that ctm eats up all
available memory.
