Does anyone know exactly which INITs/cdevs are KNOWN to have problems with
Fresh Start?  I have tried various combinations of the 30+ INITs/cdevs that
I use, and I manage to bomb the machine most of the time.  Without Fresh
Start however, I never seem to have that problem.

It seems like a great idea.  However, I use way too many of those INITs/cdevs
that "abuse the Mac in strange and wonderful ways" to really consider using
Fresh Start the way it is now.
