HardPressed and GS.Spy.2

[fadden@uts.amdahl.com (Andy McFadden)]

I put GS.Spy.2 before HP in my System.Setup folder, and rebooted.  When I
got to ProSel-16, I launched the Orca shell, and verified that HP was still
active.

I then launched the Finder, and saw that HP was no longer active.  Somehow
GS.Spy.2 had removed HP from the GS/OS vector chain when the Finder was
launched.

I also noticed that it didn't have a notify proc, so that going to ProDOS 8
and returning removed it from the system (of course, HP reinstated itself
in the process, so HP was working again).  I didn't try returning to the
Finder... perhaps there's a finderSaysHello catcher that causes it to insert
itself into the GS/OS vector?  Using the ORIGINAL GS/OS vector found on
bootup?

I don't know what all it's doing, but I sure wouldn't want it in my system.
I would strongly recommend against using it with HardPressed or anything else
that links itself into the GS/OS vector (like GSBug).  This is almost
certainly the cause of the incompatilities listed in the GSSpy documentation.
