I don't know what happened.  There I was, playing with some new
INIT's (Eyeballs and WDEF Init), and now my MacII will not run
for very long without crashing.

I removed ALL inits.  I have removed 'system' and 'finder', and
reinstalled them (sys 6.0.5), and it still happens.

I quit running the AutoMounter program for my hard disk partitions,
eliminated multi-finder, and it still crashes.

It crashes when I am doing something in the menus.  Sometimes the
a menu will be left on the screen, sometimes, after an item selection,
the menu title stays reversed, and some of the time, it's a straight
jump into MacsBug after some menu'ing.  Sometimes, a window title
will disappear.

An sc[67] command usually shows the routine FlashMenuBar routine
along with several HLocks.

I can't relate this to ANY program or init, since I can make it happen
without running anything (after booting and doing nothing else).  Of
course, when I boot off the 6.0.5 disks, it never happens.

Any clues?  I sure would appreciate it.
Any suggestions?
