I tried using the MENU editor with all sorts of INIT configurations:
all my regular INITs (not too many), no INITs, no INITs/cDEVs, no
INITs/cDEVs/ rDEVs, and it didn't work in any case.  I've noticed this
problem with 6.0.4, .5, and .7.  Various errors resulted: TRAPV,
Coprocessor not installed, Line 1111, and (of course) our friendly Bus
Error.  This is on a Macintosh II with PMMU.

I originally mentioned the possibility that it was a II-class machine
problem because the Release Note to 2.0b2 mentioned fixing an address
error problem with the MENU editor which happened on the Plus and SE.
I suspected at the time that Apple had therefore _not_ fixed the
problem on Mac IIs (although this doesn't necessarily follow).

In any case, whatever the problem, I doubt that it's due to skanky INITs,
cDEVs, or rDEVs wandering around in somebody's System Folder--the
complaints I've heard have been too systematic for that.
