The trouble with this is, if you have previously (as usual) Set
Startup to run Multifinder, the rebuild message comes up only after
Multifinder has started.  

So I guess the trick is to start the machine, then re-Set Startup to
Finder only, then reboot with the shift-option-command held down.

Thanks for the explanation about the Finder memory, incidentally.  I
had increased my Finder memory allocation to avoid this problem, and
will now go back.
