In Macsbug, `api a092' or `where a092' both explain that this trap is
called "_Egret". I've never been able to figure out where it comes
from either, but I do know that it's been responsible for a lot of
crashes on my '630. BTW, the last time I looked, Inside Mac was available
in PDF formt at <http://gemma.apple.com/techinfo/techdocs/mac/mac.html>
