I was saving a large SuperPaint 2.0 document the other night in MultiFinder
when SP "exited unexpectedly" on me.  Luckily I had a backup, but I decided
to figure out if anything (memory consumption, INITs) were contributing to
the problem.

Even with 1100K of RAM allocated to SP 2.0 (and SP only using half of that),
the application continued to blow up while saving said document.  I then
switched all my INITs off and tried again.  It saved without a problem.

Well, thanks to Aask, it was easier to track things down; suffice it to say
that an INIT called IconWrap (can't remember the edition, but it was created
in Nov. of '89) which causes INIT icons to wrap up one row during boot-up
(except the Shield INIT, which screws everything up :-) ) was the culprit.
I've ditched it, but was curious -- has anyone else noticed these symptoms?

Oh, yeah -- I own a Mac SEx with an 80 Meg internal drive and 5 Megs RAM.

                            sell her own bowel movement."
