I'll make some statements I believe to be true and then you can respond to each statement with true/false & reasoning.
On Windows x64 (and maybe Linux too) a (normal) process
1. gets an address space which is 4GB in size when the process starts
2. OS modules take up certain portion of that address space (1GB?)
3. The rest (3GB) is used for the stack & heap of the running process
4. As the app instantiates new objects (allocates memory for objects) on the heap, the amount of memory the process uses grows -- but it can never grow beyond the 3GB (4GB total) anyways, right?
5 ## This is a biggie ## A process can never eat up more memory than its address space allows 3GB (4GB total) so a process can never really impact another process anyways because each one is limited to 4GB anyways, right?
6. Extreme Example - If there is 128GB RAM in the hardware and we say OS (associated services) take up 28GB (to make things easy) and there are two services running (2 X 4GB = 8GB) then this machine could never run out of memory, since it would have 92GB just sitting idle
7 Driving A Point Home - So when a developer notices that the app he wrote running on the Server keeps crashing with "out of memory" error, then looks around and says, "Hey, wait a second, I think your service (which has been running on the Server long before aforementioned dev's app) is eating up memory and making mine die", then that developer is an idiot who doesn't understand process address space, right? Right? Right! 
This is also why
A. you can solve memory problems created by lots of processes running, by installing more memory (if hardware is further expandable)
B. You cannot solve memory problems of a service or app that crashes due to low memory (since it is simply eating it's own memory) by installing more memory (even if hardware is furhter expandable).
Agree? Agree some? Disagree? Disagree entirely?

The 4GB limit is a Windows 32 limit, and the default in Win32 is 4 GB with 2 GB being granted the OS, effectively limiting the application to 2 GB. There is an option to make this 1 & 3 GB but I don't remember how to do this. Exchange Server and SQL Server versions designed to run on 32 bit Windows server used this option.
For Windows 64, the limits are listed at Memory Limits for Windows and Windows Server Releases - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn. Note that 32-bit applications are still limited to 4GB simply because 2^32 is 4GB. 64 bit application limits vary by OS version, generally growing with each new version of Windows.

Are you the developer with the app that is dying or the app that is consuming memory like Lays/Walkers?
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
Iβm begging you for the benefit of everyone, donβt be STUPID.

I'm the kind of stuck that doesn't resolve itself to a programming question.
As an adult I used to work with someone I taught coding to back when we were teens, and we'd buddy code, and accomplish things neither one of us could do on our own. We worked really well together.
Eventually he went off to NYC to make obscene amounts of money.
But that's the kind of help I need. This SVG stuff is absolutely kicking my ass.

Sorry, can't help you there.

Well it's one of those problems where something has gone dramatically wrong and I don't even know where in the codebase to start looking. It's gotten to the point where I've decided to support TinyVG instead, eventually in addition to SVG

Does anyone know why we have not been getting The Code Project's "Daily News" emails in the past week or so?

Speculation is there's a shake up going on at code project. See further down in the lounge...Chris is leaving.

Thank you for your update...
I have always enjoyed the Daily News emails. Hopefully, Chris' replacement will take up this aspect of The Code Project's repertoire...

Not only that one... we all are really interested to know what is going to be next

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

There is a sarcastic CP news article that ridicules the people questioning the lack of daily news emails, explaining it all away as the editor taking his first vacation in 25 years, etc. etc.
The fact that somebody went on vacation is not the issue. The fact that the CP "organization" has nobody to fill in while somebody goes on vacation is the pathetic part... for which they have no explanation, except to ridicule people for asking about what was going on.
It would seem that CP is busy imploding. I guess all good things must come to an end.
