Why? Why? Why?

Do this: install MacsBug or something equivalent. Run MacWrite 4.5. Hit the
interrupt switch. Then try to resume or go to the Finder. I can't. Can you?
Why?

OR

Do this: make a simple FKey doing nothing but ExitToShell. Use it on
MacWrite 4.5 (or Excel). BOMBBBBB!. Why?

So far I couldn't reproduce this on other programs.
