Not a bug, just a back door...try opening the Map CDev with the option
key held down and/or hitting the find button with the option key held
down.  The first gives you the zoomed display, the second scrolls
through the cities that are currently defined (you can, of course,
define your own).

If you like back doors, try cmd-I in SCSI SetUp;  it allows you to
change the interleaf factor on your (Apple) drive.  Needless to say,
*don't* do this on an unbacked-up drive!
