Summary: Sorry, I don't have a magic disk repairer

Sorry, didn't mean to mislead anyone. I use "disksalv" to recover defective
disks, and am not aware of anything better. The program I referred to was simply
reading files for another purpose (my as-yet-unreleased "filetype" program),
and I mentioned it simply to prove that simply reading the trashed icon
files would not trash the system, but instead it was what Workbench did
*after* reading the trashed file that crashed the system. Presumably it
doesn't notice that the read of the file didn't work, and proceeds with
the icon data structures that it *thought* it read, causing a crash.
