We just had a similar problem with the program apparently unable to 
recognise the end of file. In this case things work fine on our
development machine, but our enduser is a "cutting edge of technology"
man with excessive amounts of RAM, System 7, and other things we don't
use for development. I'm afraid this doesn't help, but then we have no
leads either.

What I've come to expect - admittedly in Australia the distibutors are
a more direct problem than Blyth, which is somewhat remote from us.
