 I have the following problem with Telnet (either BYU 2.3.4 or NCSA 2.3) and
 MacTCP 1.0.1 - I'd be logged on for a while and all of a sudden my windows
 (no more than three open) disappear and I get a system error with ID 33
 [ZcbFree parameter goes negative - whatever this means]. Has any one seen
 this error before? I don't think this has something to do with the system
 heap because I've boosted the size of the sys. heap. I do not have this 
 problem with NCSA's TCP driver. I cannot seem to find out which init/cdev
 causes a conflict because the problem appears to be quite random (bombs
 vary anywhere between 30 secs to 2 hours). I would really appreciate any
 solutions or helpful suggestions.

 I'm running System 6.0.7 (Multifinder 6.1b9) and the following inits/cdevs:
 AfterDark 2.0, ATM 2.0, ClickChange 1.03, Disinfectant 2.4,
 DiskExpress 2.04, DiskTop 4.0, SuitCase II 1.2.8, SuperBoomerang 2.0.3
 SuperClock 3.9, Tops 3.0


 Thanks in advance
