I'll give it a try  - although losing all my prefs and other config data 
is going to set me back at least a half-day or more. :-(
Can't believe the shutdown process is so sensitive to memory usage - I 
consider it a serious flaw that shutdown can fail so hard as to prevent 
re-start, at least to some "last known good configuration."  Bug 3128 
remains unresolved...

Well, normally I would be committing more frequently. I was bug-hunting 
and nearly had it fixed Friday. This morning I was ready to run a few 
more tests and then commit. That's just when I started getting 
out-of-memory errors and was prompted to exit the workbench. The rest is 
history.
