It appears that at one point in time Megamax was using the low memory
BasicGlobs for some sort of storage.  BasicGlobs has now been inherited
by the operating system and can no longer (actually, never should have
been) used for this purpose.  I'm told Megamax has fixed the problem
and has updates available.

This seems to cause all sorts of strangeness and crashes when uw and
some other things are run on the Universal System file.  In order to
fix the problem you can attack UW with FEdit and change all references
(there's two of 'em) to 02B6 to 0A78.  This seems to work with uw and
it may be worth trying with other things..
