I don't know if this is entirely correct, but since no-one else has answered
you,.....

	I believe that the 40 folder bug is due to the memory management bug 
in TOS (or whatever). It appears after you open a non-deterministic number of
folders ( ~ 40 ) during one session (ie. between resets or power cycles).

I think this is correct.. maybe someone will give the definitive answer.
