6.0.4 is weird!

I'm not sure if anyone has talked about this before, if so, I apologize.  
I recently switched my SE/30 over from 6.0.3 to using 6.0.4.  It's been working
fairly well, but I've encountered some real weird stuff.  The biggest one
which puzzles me is what happens when I select shut down.  In 6.0.3, when I 
shut down, the scn would go from the desktop to the "Safely Turn off your 
Mac screen."  Now it doesn't do that.  It instead blacks the screen for a few
seconds before the "Safely..." message appears.  What gives?  Is something 
wierd being done?

Also, I have discovered some problems with 6.0.4 in terms of software.  Some
games which I could run before (not super important) no longer run.  But Mac
Tools 7.2 no longer runs.  The problem with MacTools is that when you eject
a disk, the machine bombs.

Any solutions?  I have a SE/30 running Mulifinder with 5 MB of RAM.  The
problems still exist without any of my INITS which I normally use a lot of.  
The MacTools problem didn't seem to occur with finder.  Is it just that 
MacTools doesn't like Multifinder?  I don't remember having this problem
with 6.0.3, but maybe I just luckily avoided it.

Also, I would be interested in anyone helping form a list of programs which
are not compatible with 6.0.4.

Thanks in advance...
