Your's is the 3rd or 4th similar report I've had where the item in common is
the HardFrame controller.  I'm at a loss for an explanation to this problem,
as I have no problems at all with my 2090A/Quantum setup.

Anyone know anything "funny" the HardFrame driver/etc. might be doing that
could interact with vanilla calls to Examine()/ExNext()/Info()/etc?

I thought I had a lead to a problem with ls's mallooc'ing code, but that
turned out to be bogus.  I'm still hunting for any clues to this and/or the
problems people are having with it under 2.0 ...
