I am running StuffIt 1.31 on a standard Macintosh Plus, with the newest
system software.  Under MultiFinder, I give StuffIt 361K, which is what it
was configured for by the author.  This bug appears under MultiFinder only,
and regardless of any INITs installed.

After using StuffIt to unstuff an archive, many of the shifted characters do
not appear correctly when typed; instead random characters appear, different
each time I ran StuffIt.  It appears that StuffIt is stepping on the part of
memory that contains the keymap.
