I've been FTP'ing animations from the directory 
/amiga/demos/traditional on new xanth.  Whenever I run one of these demos

(which all appear to use movie), my 3000 crashes immediatly after exiting the
demo.  What gives?  I realize that the instructions say to set the stack size
at 8000, but that isn't a problem, 'cause my stack is an order of magnitude
larger than that.  (it gets set to 100,000 every time I boot the machine. I
do that because I'm doing some ray-tracing with DKBTrace, and it requires lots
of stack space)
Anyway, has anyone else had similar problems?  I really like some of the demos.
I wish my machine wouldn't crash after running them.....  
BTW -- speaking of demos: I downloaded one of the Euro demos as well.  A copper
demo.  I can't remember which one it was, but it was HORRIBLE.  At least 
fifteen minutes long, and nothing much happened.  
Thanks in advance for any replies,
