Thank you all for noting and reporting this bug.  I have located the
cause; a code mistake causes the Kickstart protected memory to be
left open open for writing during some types of system Alert.  This
problem will be addressed in the next version of "SetPatch" (no
date or distribution details are available at this time).


Please note that some types of bug reports can be sent directly to
Commodore.  Before reporting, please verify the accuracy of your statements.
Try removing any special programs or hacks you may be running (booting
from your unmodified master Workbench disk is a good way to guarantee
this).
Submitted reports must include a TELEPHONE number.  Reports must
be CLEAR, COMPLETE and CONCISE.  Based on your bug report alone,
we must be able to repeat the bug.  Bugs that we can repeat
in-house GET FIXED.
