There is a definite timing bug in the finder that came on the 4.0 system
disk.  Has anyone else noticed it?  I haven't been able to narrow it
down, but fairly frequently (couple times a day) when I double click on
an application icon the system completely hangs after closing any open
windows.  This occurs with icons onteh desktop; I can't say whether it
occurs with double clicking on document icons or with icons inside
windows.  Originally I thought it might have been related to trying to
select the icon while the system was still coming up to steam, but it
has occurred when things were completely static.  I believe, but can't
say for sure, that it has happened with both S16 files and BIN files
(which, actually, I guess are technically document icons forcing the
load of BASIC.LAUNCHER) since I frequently go back and forth between two
such applicaions.
