Here are a pair of shots of the window, the first is before I do a 
180 degree rotate, the second is after I did the rotate.

I finally got this image rotated about a month ago by using Photoshop 
7 rather than Photoshop CS.  So this appears to be a CS bug.

1.5GB of RAM, and Photoshop is set to use 50% of that.  The HD that 
is set as the swap disk has currently 36GB free.  I've not tried 
GraphicConverter, but as I state above, it's a Photoshop CS bug. 
Also, I'm pretty sure I've rotated some RGB images that are about the 
same size, so I think it might be specific to bitmap images.
