Hmmm, the only thing I can think of would be to use some soup browser, like
SBM Utilities, and browse the NewtonWorks soup until you get to the
offending entry. Then, you would have to delete it. It's most likely the
cause of your problem.

On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage.
