I just had my Macintosh 512K upgraded to a Macintosh+512K, i.e., I have the
new ROMs and the 800K drive, and INSTANTLY hit a really strange bug.

Running finder 5.2, and system 3.1.1, I fired up Consulair's Edit(ver 4.51).
RAMcaching was enabled at 192Kb, and I brought up the control panel, and was
greeted with a dialog box saying:

	"The Memory allocator is in deep, deep trouble.
	 Close a file immediately"

When I clicked OK, it brought up most of the Control Panel, and then gave me 
the same dialog box, and upon the second click of OK, it gave up and left
the remaining part of the control panel blank, except the blinking cursor 
was quietly blinking with no text or controls around it.

After this I turned  down the Cache and the problem went away.

A couble of other interesting things of note are that the DA's ZoomIdle and
LSR's Idle (seemingly) can't be installed with version 3.0 of the Font/DA Mover.
When you try to install them, you get a bizzarre error, and when you try to
de-install them the F/DA mover tells you they they are in the order of 4Mb
large....
