  This may or may not help you (But I keep telling myself it will help
  someone out there). When you load WorkBench use the "-debug" option.
  This will give you a 4th (unnamed) menu from the workbench screen having
  2 options. #1> Debug and #2> flushlibs - Debug will appear to crash your
  machine if selected. But it doesnt, hook up a 9600 baud terminal to the
  serial port and check it out :-). #2> flushlibs is the one you want to try,
  if you select this option the system will attempt to remove (flush) any
  libraries left in memory by old programs that are no longer running.

  The edited line in your startup-sequence will look like this...

  LoadWB -debug
