I don't know why you're having this problem.  Stuffit Classic has unbinhexed
and unstuffed well over a hundred megabytes of stuff for me without a hangup.
And my SE runs over a dozen popular INITs as well as (gasp) Smart Alarms.  
This is with System 6.05 - 6.07 using MF 6.1b9.  I think the problem is more
with you hardware/software setup than with Stuffit.
