Yes, I saw frequent bombs when quitting the *application* version on a Mac II
with 6.0.4, MultiFinder, and 5 megs.  For me, the DA version seems more
reliable.  No bombs seen with it yet, but occasionally it fails to complete
an operation (like graphing a simple expression) and posts an alert saying
that there is insufficient stack space.

I hope that a more stable version is in the works.  It's a really handy
piece of software.
