I started noticing a program of mine began to spuratically crash inside
the SFGetFile() routine. After paying attention for some time, I noticed
that other applications would occasionally die the same way.

I do use the SFVolInit and SFScrollInit INITs, but I seem to have
similar behaviour without them. I seem to remember someone mentioning
something recently about this, and that there was a common problem
with SFGetFile()'s assumptions and that there was a simple workaround.

Anyone remember?
