DiskFit 2.0 will, under some circumstances, fail a memory allocation 
and crash without providing the user with a warning or graceful exit.  I was
told by SuperMac tech support that this problem is very rare, but I 
encountered it on my first two attempts to use the program.

They suggested that I run the program under "UniFinder" or else reset the
MultiFinder partition size to 2 Meg.  I did the latter and succesfully
completed my backup.
