Both lines cause HC 2.0v2 to "unexpectedly quit(4)" under MulitFinder on
my SE/30, Sys 6.05, 5 MB RAM.  I do not get the "No such field"
message with line #2.  I have an array of INITs, but since the
poster duplicated the problem with no INITs, I didn't bother.  But all
I lose is HyperCard, in these instances; everything else stays up and
running under MultiFinder (ZTerm 0.85, MS Word 4.0D, Finder).
