Did you send a PR? ;-)  Even tho this isn't in-tree code, it does serve as
a reminder.  I seem to remember Scott saying that he had encountered this
problem when he revamped part of the Booter, and that it was mainly a
result of our writing the preferences in the Booter's own resource fork
rather than using a separate prefs file, but I could easily be
mis-remembering.
