Several people replied with help, when I complained that I was having
major problems (crashes, lots of em) with StuffIt 1.40A and the new
System (well, 4.2/6.0).  Raymond Lau also mailed me the workaround, 
and further informed me that a new version of StuffIt (1.40B) is now
available.

The workaround is this: if you are using StuffIt 1.40A with the new
Systems under MultiFinder, DO NOT CHECK the 'Allow Background Tasks'
option in the Options menu.  TURN IT OFF, and all your problems will
dissappear.

For those of you with access to GEnie, CompuServe, MacNet or Delphi,
there is a new version 1.40B which fixes just this problem (no other
features though).
