After running a particular application, quitting normally, and 
attempting to launch it again from the Finder, I get the message

"This application is already open or is missing. Try again."

What does this mean? It is not mentioned in any manual that I have.
The application is obviously not "missing", nor is it already open
(e.g., with Switcher or Servant). The condition is cured only by rebooting.

I'm using System 3.1 (supplied by GCC; I can't get later versions to
work with my drive) and Finder 5.2 on a MacPlus with a HyperDrive 20.

Thanks in advance for any information.
