Just like any other application, the Finder can crash.  When this happens, the
user is not informed since it is the job of the Finder to do the informing.
When you quit all other apps, a new Finder will automatically be launched.
Until then, you are running "Finder-less".

One more note:  There is nothing in MultiFinder that prevents the Finder from
quitting, there is simply no way for the user to convince the Finder to do so.
