When using System 5.0 (not 5.0.2), I've been having some problems with
programs crashing when I try using the scroll bars.  When I move the cursor
to the slider and press the button (before I get time to drag the slider),
everything stops and I have to reboot.  When I reboot, I can see that the
40 column text screen is filled with "X}X}X}X}X}", which doesn't happen
when I reboot normally. This problem happens about 1 in 10 times 
I use use the sliders.  I have no problems clicking the mouse on the up/down
arrows or the page up/down areas.  I have experienced this problem in both
the Finder and TML Pascal II on three different 1.25 MB ROM 01 systems,
one with a Vulcan 40, and one with just a 3.5".  No NDAs/inits.  Has
anyone else had similar problems, or have any suggestions?
