- I've never had sT crash on me, but very often the next desktop
- application that comes along will hang (either when the menu bar is drawn,
- or before the screen switches from text to SHR). This never happens unless
- I had just quit from sT. No system error messages, nothing. It looks like
- some memory trashing problem at first glance. I've never run sT without
- DA's or init's long enough to verify that it isn't conflicting with
- something else. However, *only* sT causes the computer to hang (and it
- doesn't happen every time either).
