With this additional posting I hope to clarify things a bit.      
some people  pointed out to me that the posting above
isn't realyy fair and 'internet-protocol' correct.

I admit that maybe I should have thought twice before posting but at the time
we were pretty P.Od and in stress because of the crashed quadra 700.

Later on
Golden triangle has proved more than helpful in helping solve the problem
and it is half-way solved. By going into the debugger and working from
there we could correct most of the problems.

I apologize for any unneeded flames towards golden triangle and/or their
product Times Two.
