I've got a problem which MS can't seem to help me with, even after
quite a few calls to their tech support line.  I'd like to know if
anyone else has or had this problem with Word 5.

Ocassionally, when coming back to Word 5 under System 7 from another
program (Finder, ZTERM, Microphone II), the whole machine crashes.  It
-only- happens when I switch into Word 5.  It didn't happen under Word
4.0B.  What it looks like is this: I switch in, the insertion point
freezes for a second.  If it's going to crash, it does the job then.
If the insertion point starts blinking again, it won't crash this
time.  When I say "crashes", I mean all the way down to a warm start.

I'm running System 7, TuneUp 1.1 (though it happened under Tune-Up 1.0
and before Tune-Up showed up), on a Mac SE with 4MB, no network.
Other peripherals include an IW II, a modem, and a Q105-based disk
drive.  It's not the driver sw for the disk drive, since I tried
changing that sw and it continued to happen.

The problem is itermittent (of course), and doesn't appear to be
easily recreatable.  MS said "INIT conflict", so I'm running with my
minimal INIT set up and waiting for the thing to happen again.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
