I did search for it on my end to some degree before writing the review.  
At the time I felt it was sufficient indication that only jrcomm of all the
programs I run crashes regularly under these circumstances.

But at your request I went back and rechecked.

With a minimum of mounts and assigns it still crashes.
With my morerowed interlaced workbench back to defaults it still crashes.


That's it.  There isn't anything else running.  I'm not about to pull out
my harddrive to see if it doesn't like that, or my internal modem, or my
extra memory.  It isn't worth it.  The program is broken, kaput.  I'd like
to know how you manage to get it to run!

For the curious:

also I incorrectly named the GURU # in the preceeding text.  It
should have read (8100 0008 "Semaphore corrupt").  It is quite
