Can anyone who has MacDraw II version 1.1 tell me whether the following
bug has been fixed?  (Warning: this may generate a system error)
	
			Open a new document and turn autogrid off.
			Draw a simple box, any size (line width = 1).
			Draw a second box 1 pixel inset from the 1st box.
			Save the document as a PICT file.
			Now try to open it again.

	With MacDraw II version 1.0v4 this causes a system bomb or an out of
memory warning followed by a system bomb.  I notified Claris about the 
bug before version 1.0v4 came out, and was wondering if it was fixed in
the latest version.
	
	In case anyone is wondering how I found this bug, a program I had 
written was saving a PICT file of drawing commands with (you guessed it) a
box with another box inset within it.

Note that this bug does not occur in MacDraw 1.9.6.
