<HTML>I suspect most Illegal Op errors are, in fact caused by programs (or rather programmers) who forget to release memory when they're done with it. The programming term for this is "Memory Leak". Eventually, if you open and close programs enough, you get so short on avialable memory that programs start trying to access each other's memory space, leading to an Illegal Op. error.
In fact, I was quite proud of myself (while studying C++) the first time I actually caused an illegal operation error with my own code, rather than waiting for Windoze to do it for me.</HTML>

<HTML>There is a program (called ramboost, google for it) which will clean that sort of stuff up for you. When I was learning C I managed to crash the Macs at uni, which is a bit harder than windoze. Hence the joke in buffy of calling a techno demon Malloc the destroyer, after M(emory)Alloc(ation) the destroyer of many a program.</HTML>

<HTML>Hmm. Not a terribly good joke - are you sure it shouldn't have been retired above?</HTML>
