I had exactly the same problem.  My setup was an A2000HD with 3
megs.  No combination of INITs or CDEVs seemed to affect the
problem.  I had other problems with MultiFinder too, so I just
turned it off and lived without it.  When I got my A2630, I
had 7 megs and turned MultiFinder back on.  Since then it has
been working perfectly.  I believe the problem was too little
RAM, but I'm not sure.  MultiFinder is a RAM hog - 3 megs is
a borderline amount to be running it in, especially if you
have a large System file with lots of DA's and fonts.
