Yes, I think that is precisely the problem, but I haven't seen more than a
few reports here and there, so I couldn't be sure.

When I get MacOS 8 in a few weeks I'll run some test on different apps and
a more intensive suite on the Finder and see what I turn up.  Hopefully by
then more specific developer information on the problems will have turned
up.  I'll do some checking in the meantime.
