-48221 means there was an attempted reference to a deactivated package.
A soup editor is a utility you can use to manually edit all of the data
stored in your Newton. (Newton data is stored in structures called soups.)
When I had a find problem on my 130 I used TrashPak to delete the Library
soup - it contains information about current books, and also old books that
you might used to have installed. It's possible that one of these entries
got corrupted somehow.
You can get TrashPak from your favourite Newton software
archive: PlanetNewton, AMUG, etc.
