Can somebody tell me what the MultiFinder background application
backgrounder does? Some applications I've written cause it
to die -- or at least the application name global at $910 has "backgrounder"
in it when an address error occurs.
If I hit exit-to-shell from MacsBug, everything goes on fine (including
my application) with no apparent problem due to backgrounder being dead.
Is it the monitor for background printing? These applications that kill
backgrounder (somehow) run without problems under UniFinder.
If it helps, the code when this happens is in fairly low
memory (around 1bc00) and is just after dereferencing address
$a1c, I think. If anybody has a clue as to what that address contains,
that would be interesting too.
