I've been using the PATH: device for my s, devs, l, libs and fonts
directories.  I once tried to convert to pathass instead, but crashed
on startup.  After making sure I was using the right handler (both of
these default to l:path-handler -> I changed the path: device to 
pathdev-handler and changed the mountlist ) it still crashed.  So I
continued to use path:

I've recently gotten sick of path: yet again and tried to switch back
to pathass.  This time I isolated the bug.

The following causes pathass to chow down on all available fast ram 
until it expires with a guru ....

	pathass l:     public:l,amiga:l

The reason seems to me to be a problem with pathass looking for l:path-handler
while it is changing l: which is something that should be able to be
fixed.

Anybody ever have this problem or have a solution?
