As someone on the ARPAnet noticed, the Set File DA bombs when installed into
a copy of the System file provided on the recent software update.  However, 
I discovered that it would work when installed into a DIFFERENT new System 
file.  I'm not certain of the vintage of this particular System file, but I 
suspect it's an updated old System rather than a copy of the new System.  Then
again, it could be a copy of the System from the Write/Paint update disk rather
than the System update disk.

Anybody care to speculate what the differences are that could cause this
crash?
