REALLY?  :-)  You must have a gift.  I'm running in automatic feed mode on
an SE which at the time was running 6.0.2, plus the beta Multifinder.  I
got symptoms ranging from a complete system lockup to a system bomb box
with error 12, indicating an unimplemented system trap.  I was ready to
chuck SuperSpool, when I decided to try it under Finder.  Worked fine. 
Then I dropped back to the 6.0.2 MultiFinder.  Worked fine.  It appeared to
be the beta MultiFinder that was the culprit.  I run a lot of INITs, true,
but disabling them made no difference.  I called Supermac tech support, and
they acknowledged the problem, so it's not my imagination.  I just wish
they'd fix it.  I miss that beta MF...
