[comp.sys.mac.misc] SingleShare and Pyro 4.0 conflict

I am having a problem with SingleShare, Matthias Urlich's shareware
AppleShare program that lets you share volumes between Macs without
requiring a dedicated AppleShare server.  The problem is that after a
while, the mac running Pyro!4.0 hangs when Pyro is working (i.e.
"sleeping") and when its volumes are being accessed (or just mounted on
another also-sleeping mac).  Sometimes, both macs hang.  The screen
saver stops moving and the mac must be rebooted.  BUT, if the exporting
mac is actively being used, this doesn't happen.  It also doesn't
happen with the old Pyro.

Has anyone run into this problem?  Are there any options I should turn
on or off in the "when to wake" dialog box in Pyro?  I've already
turned off a number of them.  I want to keep Pyro 4.0 because it has
password capability.

Fifth Generation (makers of Pyro!) suggested that I rename the init to
AAPyro.  This didn't work.  They also suggested that it could be caused
by conflict with another init.  I don't have a lot of inits.  Even so,
taking them out one by one would take all day because the problem is
not very reproducible -- it sometimes takes a long time of inactivity
before the mac(s) hang(s).  So I was hoping someone might be able to clue 
me in on what to do.

Thanks in advance,
