I am having a problem with my DA's.  I typically use several in 
addition to the calculator (actually Sci-Calc) and the alarm clock.
The problem is that I for some reason I call up a DA then close it,
I am unable to open any others (or the Chooser or the Control 
Panel) without re-booting.  This occurs in the 3-4 DA range...that
is if I call up 3 or more DA's in succession and then close one,
I can't seem to call up any more.  I get the 'try closing another
application' message.  I want to stress that If I call three 
DA's in succession and then close ALL of them I am still unable to 
open a fourth, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOW THE ONLY DA OPEN.  How come?
