Your program is disabling mouseUp events, which the Finder apparently
needs to recognize a double click. In all probability, you're calling
SetEventMask to mask out mouseUp events; just call SetEventMask(everyEvent)
and double-clicking should "return to normal."

There is a nice warning on p.70 of Inside Macintosh Vol. II about the use
of SetEventMask!
