Multifinder has an interesting quirk in that it patches ExitToShell, and doesn't
give a damn about any patches that may already be in place. Does anyone have
a suggestion as to how an INIT can patch ExitToShell at boot time (prior to
knowing if Multifinder is going to be active) and make sure that the patch is
in place AFTER Multifinder is done munging the trap? I can think of a few hacks,
like having VBL task delay for a while (until MF is up and running) and then
apply the patch, but that seems ugly. Any suggestions or comments on this
phenomena would be appreciated.
