As I recall from looking at an LSC version of ShowINIT (a klone of the
MPW object written by Apple's Paul Mercer) which shows the icons of INITs
at System startup time, you need to have your own QD globals set up, because
at INIT31 time the universe is not fully formed yet, and as such QuickDraw
and things that rely upon it are most likely bound to do bad things.

You might also have to init the managers you are using too... but I've
never tried doing that in an INIT...

Note:  I am working from memory on what happens when INITs are started...
if I'm wrong please don't bop me on the head. (read: I hope someone
from Apple can tell us if this is totally correct, or if I've missed the
boat)
