I don't really know anything about Excel, but I did try to start it
once with a debugger installed and set to stop whenever someone
patched a Toolbox or OS trap.  It turns out that Excel redefines
a lot of the resource-handling functionality of the Mac, which is 
exactly what a product like Suitcase has to tinker with.  I would
guess that they get in each other's way somehow.

If that's what is happening I can't think of a cure, except perhaps to
buy a spreadsheet from a company that doesn't feel the need to patch
GetResource in an application.
