I suspect that you have some INIT that patches the _Delete trap in the toolbox. Emptying the trash causes a _Delete trap to be executed. If sharing is turned on, the sharing stuff gets control and eventually executes another _Delete trap but with the asynch I/O flag on. If an INIT has patched the trap to do some stuff beforehand (like keep track of deleted files) and then lets the delete happen, it gets into a recursive loop because the next thing that happens is that it gets called again with asynch version at which point it does it again and again... Try disabling some INITS until you figure out which one. -- Richard R.
