Hello everyone.
 After bloodied knuckles (from knocking on wood) and many fistfuls of hair,
I have discovered that doing something like <files of anAlias whose name
ends with ".xxx"> in a Finder tell block is broken. It breaks randomly,
which makes it very frustrating. You can have a script look in a folder of
50 files and it works, but with a few hundred it will randomly break,
returning a "cannot get every file of foo of alias bar" error.
 Anyone else seeing this? I've tested this on three machines (one G4 and two
G5s).
