Yes -- I've done the same thing and got essentially the same result --
although your dynaloader's runic pronouncements are somewhat different from
mine. There does seem to be a problem with AppleEvents, Menus and OSA. GD
also I see -- I hadn't tried that.

For the moment I have banned CFM-68K and friends from the system and gone
back to 5.1.3r2. It turned out I hadn't got enough room on this machine,
and some other problems arose which I suspect may have had something to do
with CFM.

Anyway having got rid of it and run Norton things are back to normal.
