I was using a Mac IIx and experienced frequent but crashes in several
applications. The crashes alwasy occurred when doing a specific action, so
it was reproducible. In the end I tracked this down to IconWrap and I
subsequently removed it and had no more problems. Although for Plus and SE
users IconWrap is nice, this makes the circular archive its only proper place.
