Has anyone had any crashes with Suitcase?

I am using 1.2.4 (handpatched from 1.2.1) on an SE with 2.5MB,
internal 20MB, system 5 (4.2/6.0) with MultiFinder.  Some number of
INITs.

If I launch (say) Excel using an Excel startup file, quit, then launch
another Excel startup file, Finder crashes (every time) at some ROM
location (TMON says it is in Get1NamedResource+some) with an address
error.  I haven't been able to track down why.  If I exit-to-shell
from TMON, Finder restarts.

If I leave in all the INITs but Suitcase, this doesn't happen.
Tonight I will try it again with no inits but Suitcase, to make sure;
and if that fails I will revert to Suitcase 1.2.1 and try again.  (I
might have screwed up the patches, after all.)  I have occasionally
had halts in the DA layer when starting up a DA like control panel; if
that happens, the only result from using the Apple menu is a beep --
until I reboot.

Any insight appreciated.
