I have seen things like this, but don't remember where.  I have used
a 1040 ST and now use Mega ST2.  I just tried an experiment...

	remove floppy from drive A:.
	drag icon for a file from drive A: to drive D:.
	get the CANCEL-REPLY dialog box.
	put the disk back in.
	copy proceeds just fine.

Does this sequence this give you bombs too? 
It seems to me that the times I have had trouble have been while
running application programs and I have had both bombs and program aborts.
I try to keep my drive a: loaded most of the time.
