	I've never tried running ShrinkIt from Basic, but the problem is
almost certainly because of size. When Basic.System loads in and
starts up, it sets up certain memory boundaries - ShrinkIt's size would cause
the boundaries to be exceeded, so the load fails. There are other SYS files
that do this - it's nothing unusual. In other words, ShrinkIt isn't doing
anything wierd...
