Hello,
 
some time ago, I discovered my first software package which runs on any 68k
Mac, tested up to OS 9. But crashes on PPC.
 
I observed this on the SNA.ps application, as soon as I'm trying to connect
too a peer system. What is SNA.ps? See link below.

Does any of you observe another software which reproducibly crashes only on
PPCs but not on 68k Macs? I found no difference on 68k between 24- and 32 bit
addressing mode. But I suddenly got the idea to probably retest with virtual
memory enabled.

I remember the first time I ran into this was when I tried to run either Think C
5 or 6 on my Power Mac 8600. Very excited about the move up from coding on a
IIci and the resulting shorter compiling times, I hit the shortcuts for running
my code and ... a hard crash followed. Reboot, tried again and same result.

Given I had moved the code over from the IIci and *knew* it runs, it had to be a
Think C problem. Some online research later confirmed that.
