Thanks to everyone with suggestions on why DiskFit was hanging under
multifinder on one machine (but not another). I finally got it working.

What I did, basically, was re-install the system. I'd already tried fresh
copies of system, multifinder, finder and DiskFit. In a fit of completeness,
I went in and re-installed all of the ancillary files (general, mouse, the
printer files, general, etc, etc...). When I tried it after that, it worked
fine. My only guess is that some control file, like general, was corrupted
in some way that DiskFit noticed, but nobody else did. Hmm.

Again, thanks.
