This has a problem thats recently cropped up on my venerable Mac Plus:

I'll be working along happily, when (occasionally) the system bombs.  Fine, I
get dumped into MacsBug, and reboot from there (rs, or, if that fails, rb).
Now, here's the problem:  The Mac starts to reboot, but then sits at a blank
screen, no sad mac, no anything - it stays like this indefinately, until I
hit the reset switch.

This is with a 2.5meg plus, ROM rev2, System 6.0.5, at least 25 inits,
MultiFinder 6.1b9...

On a related subject - many times, when I'm using a QuickKeys macro to
"page up" (scroll window back a page), the computer suddenly bombs.  Again,
I'm using Macsbug, so I can recover - in this case right back to where I
left off - but not in quite the normal manner.

Using 'G' doesn't solve anything - however, issuing an exit-to-shell command
(es), rather than going back to the finder, simply resumes the application
where it crashed.

Any ideas?  A though: Could Scroll2 be causing the scrollbar problem?
