A bug.  I spoke with Apple about it earlier today, and it seems that the
latest Developer CD (Lord of the Files) and DEVELOP CD (6) have some
incompatibility with System 7 FileSharing.  This is supposed to be an
exception rather than a rule.  I know that the QuickTime CD can be shared
but haven't tested anything else.

My biggest complaint about FileSharing (thus far) is the requirement that
I shut FileSharing down to change CD ROMs.  I want to set up a FileServer 
and not kick everyone off when I mount a different CD.
