It would seem that the recently posted "Interferon" binary has a bug. I ran it on a Mac Plus, under the latest finder and system, and after checking about half of my 30 meg hard disk it crashed (ID=2--odd address error, right?) Thought you'd all like to know -- maybe it's something simple? I had no strange cdev's or INITs loaded in, either. Joe Hellerstein

According to the documentation that comes with Interferon 2.0, Interferon
reads and interprets each file's resource map itself, rather than going
through the Resource Manager. "If it runs into a file with a damaged
resource map, it _usually_ can detect this and will display an error message.
If it does not, it will crash as it chokes on the bad data, usually with an
ID=02 message. The bad file is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Remove it and try again. I think I have this whipped -- let me know if you
run into it."
