Folks,

I've come across a rather irksome bug in Smalltalk/V Mac. I wonder if
anyone has come up with a fix.

Sending the message  fromClipboard to class Form 
                 (e.g. Foo := Form fromClipboard)
causes my system to bomb.  Digitalk is aware of this, but no
patch has come out yet.

I've traced the events that lead up to a crash, and it seems that
the crash occurs upon execution of a primitive:
        Process enableInterrupts = false

Anybody have any ideas?
