All of a sudden, the Workbench menu command `Duplicate' has stopped
working for me.  This is WB1.3 on a hard disk.  The behavior is as
follows:  the new `copy of blah.info' file gets created for the icon but
then, immediately as far as I can tell, the machine gurus.  This happens
independent of the kind of file I'm trying to duplicate (directory or
data file).  If I do the (more or less) equivalent of `Duplicate' by
hand it works fine, so it's not like my file system is so screwed up
that no new files can be created or anything like that.

Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?  How, exactly, does
Duplicate work?  If I wanted to assume that I somehow have a bad copy of
Duplicate itself, what do I restore from originals to get back to a good
one?  LoadWB?

Thanks for any help!!
