I had a finder crash the other day while copying files from
my harddisk to the floppy drive.  I finally traced it down
to files with names that began with "./" .  If I copied
a file with that prefix, the progress bar would come up,
show progress in reading the file, then finder would crash
as soon as it put up the notice about writing to the floppy.

Because I run multifinder, the finder would soon come back
(I had no other applications running)  and the system
would 'gain' the 160K of memory from the lost finder.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I have a 2MB Mac II, Jasmine 80MB, standard 800K floppy.
Running Sys 6.02
Inits: vaccine, fortuneII, jasmine, moire3.0, facade,
	DAmenuz, Soundmaster, InUse, Init Cdev2.0.
However, I removed ALL inits except vaccine via init cdev
and the problem was still there....

Any Ideas?  Has this been discussed in comp.sys.mac.programmer?


Kinda curious...
