It still seems that there is a bug in the OS ... it deletes the prefs before
even trying to see if the app itself can be deleted. Perhaps this could be
flagged and fixed in the next release? Does the same thing happen to
databases sharing the creator ID (i.e. are they deleted before the appl or
after)?
