Interesting.  I downloaded the program and it worked just fine.  I was able
to create a very large library file with it.  I then gave a copy to someone
else, and theirs crashed.  Now, every time I start up mine, it crashes just
as described above.  I downloaded it again, this time ftp'ing to sumex, and
sure enough, it still crashes.  I've tried this on various versions of
systems/finders, on a Lisa and a Mac, without Keeper installed, etc.  Still
crashes.  Has anyone else had success with it?
