I have just now "fixed" my system 4.1/5.5 to work with MacServe properly. I contemplated the same solution as Herb but decided that in the long run it would be better to go with the newer stuff and properly paired. The fix is in increasing the System heap size. As I'm also running InterMail and some other INITs, I increased it to $01800 (using Fedit - edit boot blocks) from the default $01000). You might not want to increase it that much. Also, I removed Apple's Easy Access INIT - that might not mean anything but when I was using it previous to increasing the heap I had the most problems. With sys 4.1 the heap is dynamically sized when INIT 31 loads INITs. MacServe moves INIT 31 to INIT 131 and adds their own 31 when you install it. Obviously they're not doing something the same as Apple.
