I had the problem of programs bombing on exit also.  Specifically
it was UW 3.4.  It turns out that somewhere in the Megamax libraries
they use BasicGlobs (0x2b6).  This was a previously unused (but reserved)
low memory global which is now being used by the operating system.
I was able to make uw work by using FEdit to patch two occurences of
02b6 to 0a78 (ApplScratch)  You might try applying the same patch
to the library itself.  Note that this will cause any application
which actually uses ApplScratch to start failing.
