Regarding pinhed, while well-written programs should not require
a blank slate, real-life programs apparently often do. I was
getting random crashes especially during booting. I was starting
to think that my power supply was getting flaky, but figured
I'd go through the auto folder analysis. Removing pinhed from
my auto folder eliminated my boot-time crashes. I have an
awful lot of junk in my auto folder. I don't think it's pinhed's
fault, but he's outta there anyway. I guess the moral is: if
things work fine with pinhed, great; but if you start getting
random crashes ...
