Just the other evening, I got to work with a A3000 in 2.0 mode.  The dealer
who was demoing it had just gotten a shipment of 12 AmigaVision
packages in on Tuesday, and had also just received an update to 2.0 and
placed it on his A3000.  However, as he noticed (as well as myself), more
things were breaking under this newest version of 2.0.  On of them being
Commodore's own Preferences/SetClock-Calendar (forgot what the icon's name
was).  If you clicked on Save, Use, or Cancel, it would jump the date back
6 days or so, back to the first of the month, and would not allow you to
exit with any of the 3 gadgets.  However, the close gadget in the corner
of the window would let you shut down the program. 

We also found out that Transcript/Transedit (from GoldDisk) would not allow
you to size the window at all (larger or smaller) without visiting the
"Software Failure" requestor, and the machine would re-boot.

However, this is also a bug I note somewhat in 1.3.2/1.3.  If you have a
1 meg agnes machine (no fast mem), and size the window into a small size,
then double-click in it to bring it to full size, it will guru.

Also, for some reason, on my machine it seems to randomly guru after I
select a file to load.  Xoper reports that the bug is in freeing memory
lists when exiting from the process it starts which is the file-requestor
itself.  (Apparently it returns the name to the main program).

Anyone else have this problem?  It seems to happen 25% of the time on my
A2000 6.2B/1Meg 8372A Agnes machine.  However on a friends A500 with
512k chip (8370) agnes, it doesn't crash selecting a file.
