I'm hoping someone can help me with this: I have a long involved script that
was updated for OS 8.5, but continued to work right through 9.2.2 for many
months. All of a sudden, it crashes and returns either a type 1 or type 3
error. The script will then only work after restarting the Mac, and then,
only once. After that it returns the same error until another restart.
I believe at least one of the lines that is the problem is the following:

set sysPath to (path to system folder as string)

This always worked, but now just this line pasted into a script results in a
crash. Is there a new syntax which I have to use, and if so, why did the old
one function as long as it did?

Just in case, I would check AppleScript's version (e.g., "Get Info" about the AppleScript extension).

If you're running AS 1.7, that might be the problem.
