The Sophie team lately had a bit of fun with this, you see we used  
CPlatform to resolve which platform the image is on at startup time
then of course there is platform specific code that runs, say to find  
out the directory structure (ie where is the temp directory), what  
the specialized quicktime FFI is by platform, etc.  Perhaps a call  
like CPlatform current tempDirectoryURL

Now when CPlatform runs *after* PasteUpMorph then you find that  
PasteUpMorph triggers a draw event which perculates down and say then  
tries to load the freetype fonts for the macintosh, when it fact the  
image is starting up on a windows machine, because of course  
CPlatform startup hasn't run yet and that saved image on the mac is  
rather confused when started on windows.

Thus when using addToStartUpList: beware of what you wish for.
