Probably not much that can be done at this time. Maybe a memory upgrade would help, knakos?
Other than that, the only fix I can think of would be to rewrite the SMUSH / iMUSE digital code, but doing that, and doing it "properly" is a fairl huge task, and since the current code works "well enough", it's a task that not many people (esp. devs) are much interested in, I am afraid...

I haven't got around to tracing this one down. After eriktorbjorn's comment it seems like low mem, but i'd like to verify it once, to be sure.

That would be either the SMUSH player or Digital iMUSE, I guess. That's the only thing I know of in the SCUMM engine that uses the appendable memory stream class. The FT intro probably uses a mixture of both.
That part of the code looks like this:
_bufferStart = (byte *)malloc(bufferSize); assert(_bufferStart != NULL);
So apparently the malloc() failed. In the case of the SMUSH player, I believe bufferSize is always 900,000 bytes. In the case of Digital iMUSE, the size is calculated so I'm not sure how large it usually is.
