I have just started using MacsBug again after about three years. I'm
using V5.5 (shipped with LSP 2.0) on a Mac II running MultiFinder,
System Release 6.0. I recently wrote some code which plays fast and
loose with the menulist, so to test it I used the HS command to scramble
the heap. I was under the impression that this would scramble the heap
once.

In fact it seems to do something quite different. As far as I can tell
it is scrambling the heap constantly. It is also continuously turning on
and off a few bits at the top of the screen, over the File menu. Is this
normal behavior? If so, how do I turn it off?

This happens whether or not any INITs are loaded, in both Uni- and MultiFinder.

Thanks,
Alexis Rosen
