I can speculate.  I have had ResEdit spontaneously renumber the items
in a dialog on me.  Of course, this wreaks havoc on the program when it
tries to reference anything by number.  This took a long time to track
down, but I've seen it happen more than once.  So, ResEdit bug or am I
screwing up somehow?
