Note that there is a bug in DeleteLayer() or some such name in the ROM that
can cause occasional crashes when a window is closed. The bug is that Layers
frees some memory, and then uses it. Thus typically you would tickle this
bug when closing windows while another task was doing memory allocations.
The program SetPatch on the 1.3 disks patches this bug.
