Is there any short piece of code one could run after exiting P8 that would undo whatever damage is done? (Just to make it clear: this is the bug that makes the file save dialogue not work properly when you are trying to save over an existing file and you've run a ProDos8 program -- or maybe it takes a Basic.system program -- between when you booted GSOS and you are trying the save.)
