Try the following:
1) "Get Info" on the Expander app icon and increase the RAM allocation of
Stuffit Expander at least 300K or so (more if you can) . I think that's
a stack/heap collision problem that started occuring along about MacOS
8.1 or 8.5 (I forget exactly where) due to an increase in the amount of
stack needed by apps. Some apps failed due to the change and were fixed
by the above procedure.
2) Upgrade to the latest version of Stuffit Expander (you don't have the
latest version). It's free on Aladdin's web site (www.aladdinsys.com).
Latest is 5.5.
