I experienced infinite reboots after installing the "DC Stuffer" desk
accessory posted here some time ago.  I placed all my DA's in a folder
named STUFFER, as instructed, placed STUFFER.ACC on my root drive, 
rebooted and POW! (as Batman would say), my ST's hard disk autoboot
sequence started to execute ad infinitum. 

I at once ruled out hardware as the cause. I've had my 1040 ST since 
Jan. '87, and, hardware-wise, it's been rock-solid.  I got out my 
trusty hard-disk bypass boot floppy, booted from floppy, removed  
STUFFER.ACC from my C: partition, and, whew, got things back to normal.
Has anyone else had this problem with DC Stuffer?  

In my AUTO folder I run FATSPEED, NITE.PRG, GDOS.PRG (with some 
Fontz-created fonts), FOLDRxxx.PRG, and BMS's clock-setting program SETCLK.  
All my software runs fine with this combination except for the following:

1) Laser C crashes when the compiler and linker are RAM-resident.
2) Flight Simulator doesn't run.
3) The MULTRAN.ACC desk accessory included on my Unterm 2.0d disk times
   out in the middle of long background file transfers.

Any similar experiences or clues would be appreciated. Thanks!
