This reminds me of a bug we found in System 6.0.4 (but fixed before we
shipped it). The installer failed on one person's machine--every time,
without fail, it just locked up.
Turns out that the yen sign (%) was being used as a place-holder for
the volume name in the code, and this person had used that character in
the disk name. So, when the code encountered that character, it went
to the routine to fetch the disk name, where it found that character
again, and went to fetch--well, you get the idea.
The fix was to change the place holder to a colon.
