I've been unable to reproduce this problem using SysBeep (the utility used
by most Mac software to beep or flash the menu bar).  Either the software
you are using is corrupted somehow (I mean the system software), or your
applications are not calling SysBeep but are instead attempting to flash
the menu bar directly themselves.  I could understand this latter behavior
causing problems since the menu manager has been extensively patched in
System 4.1 to support hierarchical menus.
