Excel 3.0 bus error

We've been using Excel 3.0a with no problems for several months, but a
recent budget worksheet is causing lots of bus errors.  It involves two
main features we haven't used before:  array formulas (summing products),
and iteration (just one or two iterations to round the budget total to
the nearest 100).

Has anyone else seen this problem or have any insights?  The errors mainly
occur on Mac IIsi's, when trying to insert or delete lines.  Sometimes it
worked with extensions off, but other times not.  We tried both 24- and
32-bit memory mode.  No virtual memory, usually about a 3 meg block
available (with Excel asking for 1.5 M).  On a IIcx it worked fine, until
we tried to close and quit...then a bus error popped up.

We'd be willing to upgrade to 4.0, but only if it would solve the problem.

Please reply by email, and I'll post a summary.  Thanks.
