  236.  <p>Apple recommends customers disable the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler extension</p>
  237. <p>Apple Computer has discovered a bug in the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler<br />
  238. extension that can affect the stability of Macintosh computers based on the<br />
  239. 680x0 processor. This extension allows the use of certain applications on<br />
  240. 680x0 computers, and is installed by an application installer only if the<br />
  241. application requires the extension. Customers will know they have this<br />
  242. extension installed if the file " CFM-68K Runtime Enabler" (note that the<br />
  243. file name begins with a space) is located in their Extensions folder which<br />
  244. resides inside their System folder.</p>
  245. <p>In certain circumstances, the bug can cause applications which rely on the<br />
  246. CFM-68K Runtime Enabler to not function properly, resulting in application<br />
  247. instability and potential loss of data. The most obvious symptoms are what<br />
  248. appear to be random system crashes and hangs. Macintosh and Mac<br />
  249. OS-compatible computers based on the PowerPC processor are not affected by<br />
  250. this bug.</p>
  251. <p>Because of the potential quality impact of this bug, Apple is recommending<br />
  252. that customers with computers based on the 680x0 processor disable the<br />
  253. CFM-68K Runtime Enabler extension and not use programs which rely on this<br />
  254. extension. See below for instructions on how to disable this extension.<br />
  255. Apple is currently working to resolve this bug.</p>
  256. <p>What is the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler?</p>
  257. <p>The CFM-68K Runtime Enabler is an extension which makes it easier for<br />
  258. developers of applications to design their programs to run on both 680x0<br />
  259. and PowerPC computers without having to write separate programs for both<br />
  260. processor families.</p>
  261. <p>On a more technical level, the Code Fragment Manager ("CFM") was originally<br />
  262. introduced by Apple only for Macintosh and Mac OS-compatible computers<br />
  263. based on the PowerPC processor. It allows applications to share their<br />
  264. programming code through special files known as shared libraries. In<br />
  265. addition to being able to share programming code, applications which are<br />
  266. programmed to use shared libraries can reduce their memory requirements. In<br />
  267. response to the success of the PowerPC version of CFM, Apple introduced a<br />
  268. version of CFM for Macintosh computers based on the 680x0 processor. This<br />
  269. version of CFM for 680x0-based Macintosh computers is the CFM-68K Runtime<br />
  270. Enabler extension.</p>
  271. <p>What applications are affected by this bug?</p>
  272. <p>Only applications which have been explicitly programmed to use the CFM-68K<br />
  273. Runtime Enabler can be affected by this bug. Apple Computer products which<br />
  274. rely on CFM-68K Runtime Enabler are: OpenDoc, Cyberdog, LaserWriter<br />
  275. (versions 8.4 and 8.4.1 only), and the Apple Media Tool. Only the 68k<br />
  276. versions of these software packages are affected. This bug does not affect<br />
  277. PowerPC versions of these products. There are currently few applications<br />
  278. which rely on the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler and therefore Apple does not<br />
  279. believe that this problem is very widespread.</p>
  280. <p>You can identify applications which rely on the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler<br />
  281. extension once the extension is disabled (see below for instructions on<br />
  282. disabling the extension). When the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler is disabled,<br />
  283. applications which rely on it will report the following error when you<br />
  284. attempt to launch them:</p>
  285. <p>*</p>
  286. <p>Is this bug caused by these applications?</p>
  287. <p>Not directly. The bug is caused by the use of CFM-68K Runtime Enabler in<br />
  288. ways it was not designed to handle. Unfortunately, its limitations were not<br />
  289. recognized by the applications.</p>
  290. <p>What should I do if I have installed one of these affected products?</p>
  291. <p>If you have installed OpenDoc or Cyberdog, you should not use these<br />
  292. products until Apple releases a solution for this problem. If you have<br />
  293. installed LaserWriter version 8.4 or 8.4.1, you should install LaserWriter<br />
  294. version 8.3.4, which does not rely on the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler. If you<br />
  295. do not have LaserWriter 8.3.4, you can download it from the Apple support<br />
  296. site on the World Wide Web, which is located at:</p>
  297. <p><a href="http://www.info.apple.com/" title="http://www.info.apple.com/">http://www.info.apple.com/</a></p>
  298. <p>If you are a member of the Apple Media Tool developer community, please<br />
  299. visit the AMT web site at <a href="http://amt.apple.com/" title="http://amt.apple.com/">http://amt.apple.com/</a> for more information.</p>
  300. <p>If you have a PowerPC-based Macintosh or Mac OS-compatible computer, your<br />
  301. computer is not affected by this problem. Therefore, you can continue to<br />
  302. use these products.</p>
  303. <p>Should I contact third-party application developers about this problem?</p>
  304. <p>No. Since a fix for this problem will be accomplished by modifying Apple's<br />
  305. CFM-68K Runtime Enabler, third-party application developers will be unable<br />
  306. to assist you with this problem.</p>
  307. <p>How do I disable this extension?</p>
  308. <p>There are two ways to disable this extension. One is to drag the extension<br />
  309. out of the Extensions folder which resides in your System Folder. The other<br />
  310. is to use the Extensions Manager control panel.</p>
  311. <p>To disable the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler extension using the Extensions<br />
  312. Manager control panel, perform the following steps:</p>
  313. <p>1. Open the Apple menu item and select Control Panels.</p>
  314. <p>2. Locate Extensions Manager and double click it to open it.</p>
  315. <p>3. Locate " CFM-68K Runtime Enabler". Note that there is a space at the<br />
  316. beginning of the name. You should find this extension near the top of the<br />
  317. Extensions Manager window under the Extensions heading, similar to this:</p>
  318. <p>*</p>
  319. <p>4. If there is a check mark ("") next to CFM-68K Runtime Enabler, click on<br />
  320. it so that there is no check mark.</p>
  321. <p>5. Close the Extensions Manager window.</p>
  322. <p>6. Restart your computer.</p>
  323. <p>Is this bug caused by recent changes in the CFM68k Runtime Enabler?</p>
  324. <p>No. This bug exists in all currently shipping versions of CFM-68K Runtime<br />
  325. Enabler, but was found during recent testing.</p>
  326. <p>Why has it taken Apple this long to identify this bug?</p>
  327. <p>Only recently have applications begun to make use of the CFM-68K Runtime<br />
  328. Enabler extension. The conditions which cause this bug have only been<br />
  329. exposed by recent increased use of the extension by applications.</p>
  330. <p>I have a PowerPC computer. Does this affect me?</p>
  331. <p>No. The bug is only in the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler extension, which runs<br />
  332. only on Macintosh computers based on the 680x0 processor. The Mac OS on<br />
  333. PowerPC computers does have code fragment capabilities,  but it is<br />
  334. accomplished through different programming techniques not affected by this<br />
  335. bug.</p>
  336. <p>What is Apple doing to fix this bug?</p>
  337. <p>Apple has assigned a team of engineers to develop a solution for the bug.<br />
  338. At this time, there is not enough information to make any statements about<br />
  339. delivery of a solution.</p>
  340. <p>How can I get the technical details about this bug?</p>
  341. <p>Apple has a Technote about this bug available on the World Wide Web at:</p>
