Stef (I assume that's who MAILER-DAEMON is)...

As long as you aren't calling back into Morphic from other Processes this 
shouldn't happen.

Are you sure you aren't doing that?

A quick browse at the code shows:

* there are a number of method reversions in the MW-SD code that may break 
things, since that code is from 3.2/4917 and there have been a lot of changes 
since then (I've attached a ConflictCatcher log)

* you've got a number of strange combinations of line endings in the files

* the AniTurtle stuff could be calling invalidRect:from: from a non-UI process 
(I think); I don't know if this could cause the problem you're seeing.

* are you *sure* that no methods are being invoked on either the Hand or the 
World (directly or indirectly) from background processes?

* Andrew Black said (as I recall) that he'd found a bug in Nathanael's Monitor 
implementation; is it possible you're running into that?
