Well, er, ah, hmmm, it seems that there was this low memory global called
BasicGlob, which was reserved for use by the system, and System 4.1 is now
using it (it's been renamed ExpandMem), but, er, uh, ahem, it seems that
MacTerminal (against our own rules), was USING BasicGlob.  So it is
incompatible with System 4.1.

There will be a MacTerminal 2.2 out in the very near future, which will work
with System 4.1 and also properly support the new ADB keyboards (including
the control key).

This just goes to show that even we occasionally break our own rules, and
suffer for it as a result.
