Sounds exactly like a communications/serial port is being left open, and your
AddressBook application is attempting to open it somehow... Similar to the
problems I always have to face after running a MIDI application from the modem port and then trying to run Zterm.. (only a reboot, init patch, or opening
the chooser and re-selecting the printer port/etc. will reset it)

Try resetting your printer settings after leaving RR or Versaterm, and then
running AddressBook...
