Well, at least I don't feel like I am going nuts now.  I have also had
problems with trash can aliases and posted a message a few days about it.
I just created a trash can alias, put it in the root window, and renamed it
to trash (but with a space before and after the name). When an attempt was
made to open the alias, the machine hung. I have been able to reproduce this
over and over.

My set up is similar to the above set up. Maybe it is limited to Mac II cx's

My sys:  Mac IIcx 4/80, no extensions installed yet. Running 7.0 golden
	 master. VM was on. Modem attached.
