I have a MF compatible, or rather it should be, program that i am writing.
It uses appletalk and has completion routines.  My question is this :

  If i am in the background and enter the iocompletion routine, is it
  possible to get interrupted or swapped out halfway thru the completion
  routine?  I am having some funky errors when running in the background
  under multifinder and can't seem to figure out what is going on.

  Symtoms :  program is running fine in background, accepts a few packets
             then suddenly the program comes to foreground for a second
              and then goes backt o background.  I know this ain't much to
             go on, but it ain't giving me much.  If anyone has had this happen
             i'd love to know what caused it.

Thanx,

Michael O'rourke
