[comp.sys.mac.system] weird bug I noticed

I noticed a strange bug in System 6.0.5 and 6.0.7 (maybe earlier
systems as well) that when you format a disk and the format fails,
you get a dialog that says that the format failed.  If you type
anything, it appears in the second line of the alert!  Was this
intentional?  It obviously doesn't serve any useful purpose (unless
maybe if you type some magic string :^)  Just thought I'd waste
"hundreds of thousands of dollars" to let you know about this.
