    I've never had sT crash on me, but very often the next desktop
application that comes along will hang (either when the menu bar is drawn,
or before the screen switches from text to SHR).  This never happens unless
I had just quit from sT.  No system error messages, nothing.  It looks like
some memory trashing problem at first glance.  I've never run sT without
DA's or init's long enough to verify that it isn't conflicting with
something else.  However, *only* sT causes the computer to hang (and it
doesn't happen every time either).
