In my experience in most such cases such a small ugly dirty ppc.library
program is running somewhere, which existance the user already forgot...
something as small as a datatype or PPCInstall.

People wanting to do a savety check if something is seriously wrong i always
recommend booting without startup and then:

setpatch
stack 300000 (for ADescent 1000000)
assign env: envarc:
MCPramlibpatch

And then start the program. If then it runs, there is definitely a "strange
tool" messing around (MCPramlibpatch fixes such problems often) or a
ppc.library application active for the full bootup. But with this information
the reason of the problem can be found out.
