I have an ST without a hard disk, and do not usually run FOLDR100, but I
sometimes experience the system reboot ``feature''.  I wonder if David
Rubin's problem is not one with FOLDR100, but something about the
operating system itself.  I can not reproduce this behavior at will, and
from what he says, it sounds like David's problem is not reproducible
either.

Has anyone experienced this problem and solved it? 
Perhaps someone from Atari can comment on known causes of "automatic reboot".
