I don't know if this is relevant to the current discussion or not, but I
recently encountered a very strange phenomenon whereby Appleshare was being
accessed when certain programs (e.g. Bundaid 1.1 and Disinfectant 1.6)
were doing a scan of my *local* hard disk!  If no server volume was
mounted, then no arrow flashing occurred; however, starting an application
with a server volume mounted, then disconnecting the Localtalk connection while
the application was working resulted in the application halting until
the Appletalk connection was restored.

After much experimentation, I determined that the program that seemed to
be causing this was GateKeeper Aid!!!!  Removing this INIT and replacing
it with Eradicat'em seems to have cured the problem.
