I believe that this is a genuine bug in the Prodos FST; it has been a fairly
randome fluke and the fact that it is harmless and easy to fix suggests that
it will not be too hard to work out of the next O/S release.

As for you problems with SCSI partition, GS/OS programs don't need it. Only P8
programs need SCSI partition.
