Two RealBASIC 5.5.2 questions (Ram requirements and Type2 on shutdown)

I have created two apps, a weather app and a small keep connection alive app. I am writing them in Sheepshaver with System 8.6 on my M1 MBP and using FTP to move them over to my PB Duo 2300 which is also running 8.6.

The Keep alive app is very simple but when i changed it from the 2048k (Minimum)/4098k (Suggested) default to 512K/1024MB in Build Settings it crashes with a Type 2 at launch; in fact, anything less than 2048/4098 causes that crash. Is this just a quirk of RB where all apps need at least that much RAM allocated?

Both apps quit cleanly (as far as I can tell) with the keyboard or close box, but both will crash with a Type 2 error if I try shutting down with either of them running. Is there a fix for this?

How does one debug crashes at launch or shutdown?
