It's hard to say what caused it.  When Public Folder doesn't see the configured
folder (:Public: by default), it should just not load in the server code and
display the Public Folder icon with a big X on it.  

If you can recreate the bomb, please send me a description as well as a list
of what other INIT/CDEV/RDEV's you are running I might be able to figure out
what was going on...
