Hmmmm.  I've also had this, but in Microsoft Word v4.0.  Is MicroSoft going
and making their own WDEF's, instead of the system's, and causing all the
headaches?

Here's a few more!  "Aask!" (v1.0 :-o ) and a public-domain version
of the same-sort... "INIT CDEV" (v2.0) by John Rotenstein.
 
By the by, I'm using an SE/30 loaded with 5 Megs. of memory and a
whole (ahem)load of other inits.  However, these two are the only
INITs that I seem to be having problems with... with the exception
of (apparently) a few M.Soft applications.
 
INIT CDEV simply does the not-so-nice thing of causing a System
Error [ID = 2] when I hold the mouse button down on booting up.
 
When I use Aask! and do a hold-mouse-on-boot, I get a pleasant
message from GateKeeper Aid saying "Sorry, a miscellaneous error
occured in the Gatekeeper Aid demon.  LoadResource() failed.
[ID = -108]"
 
Yeesh!  What's the world coming to when you have to use demons
to eradicate a virus?  :-)
