There is no current workaround, but starting with 1.99q3, Executor
will try to continue running after GetIconSuite is called.  However,
we still haven't implemented GetIconSuite, so the program may quite
possibly die after the call to GetIconSuite fails.

Currently we do not plan to support the icon routines in Executor 2.
Most programs use "Gestalt" to determine whether or not the routines
are present and don't call the routines when they're not there.

Once Executor 2 is shipping, adding support for those routines becomes
a very high priority task, since they're on the cusp of being
important enough to support in Executor 2 already.

I'd guess that we'll have support for those routines by April, but
that's a guess.  Writing the routines isn't really that hard, but
getting Executor 2 out the door is, and that's what's taking up all
our engineers right now.
