Hardware/ System / inits:
Mac Plus 2.5 meg ram, 30 meg hd, system 6.0.5
Ram cache = 256k
running multifinder

Open macdraw , paste small paint graphic, didle a bit more, close the
document, quit macdraw II...
Open Macdraw II again, paste same mac paint, draw a line or two,
THEN, moving anything (line, paint graphic, or other objet) =
   BOMB id = 10

Turn off the ram cache, = no more bomb! (after repeating same sequence)

BTW , ram available w/ ram cache on = 1675,
      partition size for Macdraw II as set in get info box = 1300

I know Macdraw II is a memory hog, but jeepers! It appears it has
gobs of mem available to it in about the finder dialog box
(macdraw II's bar graph shows only 1st 1/3 black, the rest gray)??
