The practical, and trivial, solution to the LB 4.5.0 memory allocation problem is to reduce the amount of contiguous address space requested from 1 Gbyte to, say, 256 Mbytes to be on the safe side. This would still be plenty of memory for any conceivable LB program.
I never understood why he made such a large jump from 70mb (which worked fine for 99.9% of LB users) to 1gb. Even with my limited knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes in Windows I would have expected it to cause a problems.

For me the puzzle is not so much why Carl made such a big change in the first place (evidently he is not naturally cautious like you and me!) but why he didn't reverse it - or at least reduce it - as soon as reports of problems started to come in, which was immediately after LB 4.5.0 was released.
He seems to have used the memory allocation problem as an excuse for not releasing a Pro version of LB 4.5.0 (leaving his 'elite' users in the lurch ever since) rather than simply fixing it, which I'm assuming would have been a five-minute job of changing the amount of memory requested and recompiling LB.
But there are so many things about Carl that totally mystify me I probably shouldn't be surprised about this one.

It is odd that he didn't fix or change it right away. As you say it shouldn't take long to do. Hopefully he gets it fixed faster than what it took to fix the file dialog
