For some reason, we've had a rash of disk crashes whenever someone
cancels a print job on Pagemaker 3.0 or Word 3.02.  Now, I've checked
for Scores, nVIR, and Sneak and it just ain't there so it ain't a virus.

I've been able to recover user's files by sector-to-sector copy, expect those
sectors crashed by the Mac.  Is there any reason why the Mac should crash 
sectors of a disk when a user cancels a print job?

The configs affected:
Mac II, Mac SE, Mac Plus
All 1 Meg
All 20 MByte HD
All System 6.0.2, Finder 6.1
We don't have enough memory to worry about MultiFinder!

Thanks mucho,
