You didn't say what development environment you are using, but I bet it's
Lightspeed C.

This is a known bug.  Their SetEventMask uses a MOVE.L where it should
use a MOVE.W.  You can 1) patch the MacTraps library (using FEdit,
Search for: 225F 21DF 0144 4ED1
Change to:  225F 31DF 0144 4ED1
) or 2) Use a line like
	SysEvtMask = EveryEvent;  /*  SysEvtMask is a lomem global defined
					in EventMgr.h */
or 3) Wait for the new version of LightSpeed C due out at the end of the month.
