Since updating to System 6.0.7 I have encountered crashes which I think are
related to SFScrollInit. Has anyone else encountered this? SFScrollInit patches
the SFGet routine so that the file lists in Open and Save dialog boxes remain
in the last scrolled position, instead of starting at the top of the alphabet
each time you open the dialog box.

Configuration:
MacIIci, 5MB RAM, 8bit internal color

Inits/Cdevs: 
Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper Aid, MacTCP, On Cue, Guard Dog, PopChar, SuperClock,
ZoomBar, ATM, SnapJot, Disinfectant Init, and the standard Apple Inits and
Cdevs. And, of course, SFScrollInit

The problem manifests itself in Save dialog boxes, but not Open dialog boxes.
As soon as I try to change folders, the system dumps. In Multifinder I get
"Application quit unexpectedly", and in Finder I get a Bus Error.

I tried removing all non-Apple Inits and Cdevs except SFScrollInit, and got the
same results. Removing SFScrollInit and nothing else eliminated the problem. I
have tried both version 1.0 of SFScrollInit, and an unknown version with a file
type of System instead of Startup.

If this was Soundmaster or The Grouch, or some other recreational Init, I'd
just live without it, but I *really* like SFScrollInit. Is there a more recent
version, a patch, or other solution to my woes?
