I start Claris' MacWrite 5.0 by double clicking on a less than two page
document created with MacWrite 5.0.  I then select 'Print' from the File
menu.  I am running version 6.0 system software and am using MultiFinder and
background printing.  The file is spooled to disk and then MacWrite exits!
I get a message, apparently from MultiFinder, saying "The application
'MacWrite' has unexpectedly quit (2)."  The Print Monitor says the document
is damaged and doesn't print it.  Just to be sure that MacWrite has plenty
of memory, I am running it in a 1MB partition on a 2.5MB Mac Plus.

I again double click the document.  MacWrite 5.0 starts up, but this time
the Spelling checker's menu doesn't appear.  I select 'Print' and the
document is successfully printed.

Does anybody happen to know what's wrong?
