MCL 2.0.1 and Accelerators?



I've created at application in MCL 2.0.1 that runs on almost every 32 bit 
clean computer that apple makes, but from feedback from several users, 
it doesn't seem to work on LC's with 030 accelerators.
Here's one user's testimony.

We're not running any code that targets 030 accelerators and blows them out
of the water, so is there anything on the MCL end that is incompatible with
030 accelerators?  (Our code requires 32 bit memory addressing on and
5 megs of RAM. But these requirements were met by the users with problems.)
