I'm not entirely sure what to do, but it's not something you can directly
fix. It is, however, something which can be fixed now that you mention
the problem.

Basically we try to fake out part of MacOS, by implimenting a bunch of the
MacOS traps. You've run into one we don't fake out at the moment.

I'm not one of the trap gurus, so I'll let them take it from here...

Take care,
