I'm having a problem with a resource manager error (along with a system
crash) in an NDA I'm writing which doesn't use resources!

My DAOpen routine is something like

GrafPortPtr Open(void)
{
    wind = NewWindow(&wParms);
    SetSysWindow(wind);
    NewControl2(wind, 3, ctlTemp);
}

where wParms is a valid structure and ctlTemp is a pointer to a NULL-
terminated list of pointers to new style control templates (and the
NewControl2 call works properly).

Now, when I boot the computer, then run any GS/OS application, the desk
accessory opens fine, displays the controls from NewControl2 fine, etc.,
etc.  Or, if I run a ProDOS 8 program, then return to the Finder, and then
run any GS/OS program that (it seems) *starts up the resource manager*
the DA still opens fine.  However, if, after running the P8 program, I run
a program that doesn't start up the resource manager, and from it try to
open the DA, when it gets to the NewControl2 line, I get a system crash to
the sliding apple text screen with the error message:

Could not load/unload resource.
    Type = 800c
    ID = 07FF0001
    Error 1E06

The reason I say it *seems* like it doesn't crash if I run a program that
starts the resource manager is because it works properly with programs
like the Finder and AWGS 1.1, but not with older programs from before
system 5.0.  Again, the DA works with *all* GS/OS programs *before*
running a P8 program,  but not with those that don't start the RM *after*
running a P8 program.  I hope this is clear :-)

Also, if I simply remove the NewControl2 line, there are not problems
whatsoever.  So it's got to be some problem there.

If anyone has any idea what might be causing this problem, or if I need
to do something else to figure out what's the problem, please let me know!
Thanks.
