Well, I have finally made _Launch 2.5 crash on my Macintosh (IIcx, 5MB,
6.04, Multifinder 6.1b7). It turns out that when an appplication runs
out memory, rather than Application Unexpectedly Quit (out of memory), you
get buss errors (with MacsBug). Usually you can escape out of the application,
which will be _Launch 2.x. You will get an Application Unexpectedly Quit
Message.

I have a feeling that it has something to do with handles being trashed by
the expiring program that aren't being handled by _Launch 2.x

Just a thought - /mde/
