I had the same problem with White Knight 11.  I logged onto GEnie
to see if anyone else reported this.  It is a known problem and a 
50K difference file (1443 in the FreeSoft software libraries) will
convert White Knight 11 to Wk 11.01.
This has not been my only problem.  Running the PUP decryptor which
comes in file 1443, my Mac Plus (running 6.0.2) crashed, corrupting 
the copy of WK 11 I was working on. Finally turning off all my INITs 
and booting in UniFinder got it to work.  I didn't have the patience
to figure out just what was causing the crashes.
I've had other problems:
1. Master Juggler will hide the current application's windows when
switching in MultiFinder.  WK's window won't hide.
2. The application that is supposed to convert settings from Red's
10.3 Stuff to WK format didn't work for me, so I had to configure 
WK 11 by hand.
3. Just as I went to launch WK now, QuickKeys gave me error -9.  Get 
info on WK showed a file size of zero. (I was wondering where all that
extra space on my HD came from.)  I had just done a DiskFit 1.5 backup,
so I'll have to go back and see if that hollowed out WK.
I'm sure more problems will be discovered.
