I helped beta test DD 3.7 and although I wasn't using MacsBug 6.2.1
under System 7 (I was mainly testing the System 6 stuff) I'd be very
surprised if Lloyd Chambers wasn't using it. Now what very well may
be the case is if you use EA or ES on the Finder, that DD isn't reloading
when the Finder runs for the second time. I don't think that's a bug
since DD isn't really part of the Finder and forcing applications
to quit that don't want to isn't really a nice thing to do to well-behaved
extensions like DD. If you are using EA and ES to escape from other
applications, something strange is going on, because I do that all
the time without hurting DD at all.

cheers... Adam Engst, TidBITS Editor
