Yikes!
If you're running thus under Mac OS 9.x, and if you're launching this
applet from the Startup Items folder, you might want to try what happens if
instead you launch it manually. Under OS 9.x I have even the simplest of
applets crash (but only _sometimes_) me into MacsBug when launching them
from the Startup Items folder, but _never_ when launching them in any other
way.
No such problems under pre-OS 9.x systems.
Too bad, because the Startup Items folder is an ideal place for many
applets.
