Further testing, I removed all the INITs and cdevs but Suitcase 1.2.4,
and I got the crash.  After reverting to Suitcase 1.2.1 I did NOT get
the crash.  I started up FEDIT and verified all the patches I had made
to go from 1.2.1 to 1.2.4.  (I did not go back and try repatching to
see if I had accidentally and unknowingly made some other change.)
The only other thing I had done was to change the STR resource to use
cmd-\ as the Suitcase call-up.

I had some interesting suggestions including those from Mr. Lewis;
however I do not have the 5.1 laserwriter drivers (I'm not sure
whether I even have the 5.0 on that particular machine, since I don't
have an LW at home )-: ); but I'll look into the other suggestion of
seeing if having more than 4 cdevs has anything to do with it.

For the meantime, I am running Suitcase 1.2.1.  I expect 1.3 in the
mail (within 8 weeks) and 2.0 to follow.
