I always just assumed everything would move memory, and adopted 
practices that weren't fragile: Get current state and lock before use, 
restore to previous state after use.

Honestly, while the state of software development on Mac OS was indeed 
bad, it was bad on most every other proprietary desktop environment, 
too. At the time, I preferred working on Mac OS because things were even 
more painful on Win32.
