   Well, the monkeys in the machine room at winternet.com decided to
break the news server, so old posts by everyone are showing back up on
my news reading. I never managed to duplicated the "Warning: infinite
icon list" while debugging, but I did find a problem elsewhere in
the Finder's icon setup code, which led to a bugfix in GUPP 1.02 and
later. 

   If you've been getting errors like this, please try out GUPP 1.02
(and 1.03 if I get around to releasing it tonight) and see if that
fixes your problems.
