>(as you would have in MPW 3.1).

Assuming that Mark is right about the immediate cause, then the problem ight
be that you are using a different version of MPW from the libraries.  To
account for library changes from MPW 3.1 to 3.2, the MacApp build tool
checks the shell variable MPWVersion to see which version of the shell you
are running.  

So running a 3.2bx shell with the 3.1 libraries might cause
problems.  You can try setting {MPWVersion} to 3.1 temporarily and see if
that helps.  THe real fix would be to get the 3.2 version of the C
libraries.
